Re: Can we move the activity on this list to the Forum now?
OK, I've updated the Trac wiki page to point to the forum too. (We use this as a wiki-link in responses to guide folk onwards.) The docs have a `|django-developers|` shortcut used in quite a few places so that needs a moment more to review and adjust. (I'll look at it soon-ish... — if no-one beats me to it :) Thanks.

Re: Proposal for an "Age" PostgreSQL ORM function
the AGE function takes in two timestamps and returns an interval. You can do this in python by subtracting two date/datetime objects and getting a timedelta. what would the difference be to kick this out to the db?

Re: Can we move the activity on this list to the Forum now?
We should at least update those Trac and Triage Workflow docs to point to both, maybe with the Forum first?

I am incredibly strongly in favour of moving django-developers and django-users to the forums. IMO being able to more easily trap people misusing this list as a tech support channel is itself reason enough to move. Beyond that, I’d argue that the plentiful UX issues with Google Groups, and mailing lists in general, certainly don’t do the community any favours in terms of getting more people on board.
