New mailing list created

Some weeks ago Savannah.gnu.org decided to remove the full KLog project.

I lost some information like the mailing lists.

The main lost was not the archive, as the KLog mailing list was old but not very active but the trust I had in the savannah.gnu.org support to free software as it is not the case… anyway…

I have created a list on Groups.io for KLog.

You can find all the info here:

Mailing lists

Enjoy!
