[Hackrf-dev] Need a HackRf forum

[Marcus Watson]

Marc, given the forum approach the forums could be split up into user/dev etc and you could subscribe to new topics and posts in whatever topic you want.

What I'd miss in the forums though is the immediate notification and the ability to give an immediate response without heading to my browser and visiting the site.

Maybe a more searchable front end for the mailing list would help new users find answers from previous months?
