My vote is the for mailing list format: while I read all the (useful)
messages appearing in my mailbox my visits to the forums which in
principle interest me are much more irregular.

I, too, like the mailing list format better, but I have to acknowledge
that 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/
I understand it should also be possible to migrate the existing archives
to the Mailman3 format, so nothing would be lost. Of course, for this to
happen some degree of cooperation between the WFU and our IT staff would
be necessary, but I'm confident that won't be a problem.
I don't really know what it takes to show up in google searches, but I
assume Google will find out soon if we provide links to the new site on
our Sourceforce page.

the opinions voiced previously in favor of using the stackexchange
platform(s).

The way I see it, one doesn't exclude the other. We could have the policy
of redirecting threads of statistical interest (as opposed to: how do I do
this and that in gretl) to stackexchange.

The way I see it, one doesn't exclude the other. We could have the policy of
redirecting threads of statistical interest (as opposed to: how do I do this
and that in gretl) to stackexchange.
I was thinking that too. For the stackexchange redirection to work
well it would be helpful if gretl experts participate there, at least
from time to time.

OK, I will try again to configure some email alert from stackexchange
(CrossValidated/Stackoverflow) whenever the gretl tag is used there.
(Personal alert I mean.) In the past I somehow failed or didn't find the
option...

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.

I vote also for the mailing list.
In case a host is needed I believe , https://framalistes.org/ might do
the job.

It seems that it isn't possible (anymore), see here:
https://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/375752/is-subscribing-to-a-tag-b...
Apparently you can get an RSS feed, but to me that seems to be a "more
dying" technology than email. This doesn't make it very practical to
follow the gretl tag. They probably want you to spend time on their site
more often.
BTW, there were a bunch of questions on stats.stackexchange tagged with
"gretl" this year. I wonder why all the stackexchange fanatics here
didn't respond... One thing is clear, any increased visibility of gretl
on those platforms will not happen automagically. It's not a panacea but
requires effort.
If anybody has a hint how to follow the gretl tag there in a practical
way, it will be appreciated.
thanks,

Thanks for doing the research, Sven. I had just this question in
mind. I'd be happy to follow up on gretl-related stackex* questions
when I have a little time to spare, but I'd have to be alerted to
their existence via email; I'm not about to browse there on the
off-chance -- or not more than maybe once a year!
