Hello,
Qubes OS is the best alternative today for security and other OS than Win and Osx. Many Noobs coming and it's good for Qubes OS.
just a question, why use Google with the positioning of Qubes OS? There are so many other alternatives?
Just do a search google groups to know anyone who uses/particpate to Qubes OS, contradictory no ?

This is the official statement from the section "Mailing lists vs. forums" in the documentation on "Help, Support, and Mailing Lists" [1]:
"[...] The Google Groups service is just free infrastructure, and we distrust the infrastructure. This is why, for example, we encourage discussants to use Split GPG to sign all of their messages to the lists, but we do not endorse the use of these Google Groups as web forums. [...] (Note: There have been many discussions about why the Qubes OS Project does not maintain an official forum. The curious can find these by searching the list archives. However, there is an unofficial forum that is synced with the mailing lists.)"
Maybe that already answers some of your questions.
Regards
Matthias

I haven't tried it, but in theory you can use nabble "forums" as a web
gateway. Hopefully without having to go through any SMS verification,
neverending captchas, or even enabling JS.
See:

The downside is that, I assume, you can't see or reply to messages from
before you registered and archived the list.
If you know of any similar sites, please share.
