Hi, just to add my 2 cents

While I love mailing lists, recently I've found StackOverflow to be
really nice, so if there's going to be some web based place for vala,
I'd like it better to be there since it's becoming the canonical place
to find programming questions/answers in almost every language.

And maybe having vala/genie questions there would make people be aware
of it's existence and take interest in it :)

Cheers
