Re: What if we moved to Discourse?

I'm conflicted. Discourse is used by quite a few open-source projects and
is very easy to use. It's easier to use than the mailing list and it is
easier to search.

On the other hand, the mailing list has a certain charm to it.

Overall, it would be good to consolidate the places that writers and
editors have to look at.
