There is, but the server is hosted: $ host discussion.fedoraproject.org discussion.fedoraproject.org is an alias for fedoraproject.hosted-by- discourse.com. And the cost is based on monthly page view (among others): https://www.discourse.org/pricing So if we start to use it, we increase the page views, and we need to see if that's in the plan. I think it is, and I do not think this will be a problem in practice. But as I was wrong for the magazine blog migration who did explode our view quotas on the 1st month because people are doing a good job pushing content, I try to learn from my optimism. > On Tue, Jun 2, 2020, 6:42 AM Michael Scherer <mscherer@xxxxxxxxxx> > wrote: > > > Le lundi 01 juin 2020 à 10:45 +0200, Adam Samalik a écrit : > > > So I've read all the comments and I feel there are a few people > > > for > > > the > > > move and no one clearly against.
