+### Another mailing list
+
+Currently the mailing list at notmuchmail.org is not working much, so
+we have a temporary (?) list at
+[freelists.org](https://www.freelists.org/list/notmuch). Feel free to
+subscribe if you like, and to CC both lists with problem reports.
+
+The `mb2md` utility can be used to convert the archives to maildir
+format which is convenient for reading the archives within notmuch
+itself.
+
+If you prefer real-time chat, there is often someone on the
+[#notmuch](irc://chat.freenode.net/#notmuch)@irc.freenode.net IRC channel. Don't
+ask if you can ask a question, just ask, and please wait for an answer, we might
+not be in your timezone.
