Move this mailing list to the Community Hub

[Luís Santos]

It´s a good idea to combine the info and the lists in one placee, but I've
got a question: I've already subscribed to the hub (right now). Will we
continue to receive the posts from other members by email and reply via
email too, or is it supposed to be "forum-like" with no e-mail interaction?
Regards
