I, too, like the mailing list format better, but I have to

most people nowadays are used to the forum format and (most importantly) the
expect to find the "knowledge base", as embodied in the mailing list
archives, when they google for things like "gretl panel data gmm" or
"gretl
arima forecast".
So, here's my proposal: we (as in Uni Ancona) will host the mailing lists
from January 2019: my top IT guy (who's in cc) said he's perfectly OK with
it, except he needs some time to set things up. We'll keep having the
existing 3 lists (user/dev/announce), but we'll use Mailman 3, which features
Postorius, a very nice modern interface for reading archives. To give you an
idea of what it look like, go here:
https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/
Thanks, Jack and Daniele, this sounds like an excellent solution. I'll
see if our IT guys can keep the existing lists going until January,
and I'll be in touch about the archives.
