[gmx-developers] deprecating the Nabble forums

[Rossen Apostolov]

Hi everyone,

A few years ago we integrated the gmx-users and gmx-developers mailing 
lists (handled by mailman) with the Nabble platform. The goal was to 
provide a convenient search interface and means for new users to 
participate in earlier discussions.

However, the additional Nabble interface created confusion with 
subscriptions and differentiation between the forums and the mailing 
list itself. Regarding search, both lists are already indexed numerous 
times by various engines, and Google does a pretty good job at finding 
earlier topics.

There's not much point in keeping the extra interface so we will 
deprecate and remove both mailing lists from Nabble.

We plan to do that _next week_ so if you have used only the forums so 
far, please subscribe to the users lists at

https://mailman-1.sys.kth.se/mailman/listinfo/gromacs.org_gmx-users

and the developers list at

https://mailman-1.sys.kth.se/mailman/listinfo/gromacs.org_gmx-developers

For searches one can append " site:https://mailman-1.sys.kth.se" to the 
queries, although simply adding "gromacs + ..." will give most of the 
same hits.

Cheers,
Rossen
