Do you mean a web forum? This is an email forum.

No, there's no web forum yet, but at some time in the not-too-distant 
future, the Hyperkitty web interface to Mailman3 may be deployed. For 
now, it's email only.

In what way?

Then don't use digests.

P.S. since you are using digests, if you reply, please:

(1) change the subject line to something meaningful;

(2) trim the quoted text. We don't need or want the *entire* digest of 
potentially dozens of irrelevant emails included in your reply.

Thank you.
