Thanks a lot for your answers Patrick. I'll try to use mailing lists technics. Your subscription page needs perhaps only some information about howto use it. But the problem is that forums are very intuitives and let people find information quicly without having to learn any technics. Your point of you is a developper's one but somebody who just looks for some answer to a pb is different :-) _______________________________________________ SyncEvolution mailing list [email protected] http://lists.syncevolution.org/listinfo/syncevolution
