Yep.

No, gramps-users is a mailing list. I'm not clear what "interact" means
here. There is an archive at
https://sourceforge.net/p/gramps/mailman/gramps-users/ where you can
search and browse the messages, but you can't edit them.

There is a web-based forum somewhere but I've never used it.

Captchas are the invention of the devil. They're also heavily culturally
biased, so they make it very hard for non-Americans. I don't know where
a loop like this should be reported: it may be something to do with
sourceforge itself, not just the Gramps list.

Welcome anyway :-)
