There may be reason to be concerned about the long-term reliability of freelists.org. They use three different free software 
packages, two of which haven't been updated in over three years and the third's website doesn't even load.

The Gambas community might be better served by setting up Mailman at something like list.gambaswiki.org as suggested; even 
though Mailman setup does not, at first glance, appear simple and would take an initial time investment.
