I can't reply to the appropriate thread because I don't have a google account, so...
You really should consider getting a forum :) 1. I use Tor, which means that unless I get lucky and receive an exit node from a country whose language I speak, the google group thing is in German/Italian/Russian/etc, and I have to click blindly until I hit the right button 2. There is no way to efficiently filter search results by topic 3. People who don't want to give their phone number to google can't reply to threads (A lot of the people who might be interested in a security focused OS are also the type of people who don't want their private lives treated as a commodity to be bought and sold by corporations) 4. The threads in the mailing list don't show up @ search engines (This is a VERY big deal) 5. It's just supremely confusing to someone like me who is used to forums and image boards and has never before used a mailing list -- If your goal is for Qubes to become more mainstream, the best thing you can do is to set up a platform where newcomers can easily communicate and help each other with newbie issues -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
