You can't connect to the paraview gui. You can only connect to
instances of pvserver. Currently, those accept one connection only. We
will be working on collaboration support that will enable both of the
above.

There is an archive:
http://www.paraview.org/pipermail/paraview/
and you can search it using google if you did
site:http://www.paraview.org/pipermail/paraview/ <search terms here>

Alternatively, you can use MarkMail: http://markmail.org
use
list:org.paraview.paraview <search terms here>

The MarkMail interface is excellent.
