Discussion which FEniCS questions are appropriate on scicomp is still running, but in the case that large portion of them will need to be redirected elsewhere, it would be worth considering returning to launchpad with questions, I think. From user point of view it is now quite complicated algorithm how to dispatch question. On launchpad it was quite simple and good-working. I guess it is also more motivating users to search old questions than mailing-list solution.
