Discussion Group / Mailing List:
I have created on Yahoo an "Announcement Group/Mailing List", a "Discussion Group/Mailing List" and a "Betatester Group/Mailing List" for Vocabulary Cards. The first mailing list will just keep you informed about new releases and features. In the second group you can discuss about the current stable release, send bug reports and request features. The Betatester group is for users who want to participate in the development of new versions by requesting new features, testing beta versions or just talk about the direction in which V-C should go in future. Just fill in your email address, press the button and respond to the subscription email you receive a few moments later. You can decide, whether you just want to subscribe the mailing list or the discussion group. The group will give you more flexibility and services (e.g. chat, web interface, ...), but you have to create a Yahoo account.
After you have subscribed, you can participate by sending an email to the mailing list or using the web interface.
