About advertisement of the IRC channel, is my fault. I'l try to fix that ASAP. About IRC death, IRC is died for looking a girlfriend, but not for open source projects. Most of them have their chats on IRC, and they work fine. If you know about a better alternative, let me now. >> The reason for that is not the support from developers in the argouml >> mailing list.

Our mailing lists are on nabble too: http://www.nabble.com/argouml---users-f9622.html http://www.nabble.com/argouml---dev-f9623.html AFAICR, Linus said that Tigris infrastructure will allow that forums - mailing lists mapping in their next release, so we can wait for it.
