While I support anyone who will setup a forum or other. I personally 
don't agree that web foras are preferred: The benefit of mail is that it 
pushes into your mailbox and you get all the messages in different foras 
as they arrive, no need to login and check each forum individually.

Anyway, the worst thing would be fragmentation, please do an extra 
effort trying to contact people on the spanish mailinglist to coordinate.

While www.es.freebsd.org is down, www.freebsd.es is UP! This is a 
spanish mirror of the official freebsd.org, you can find contact details 
in the whois
