Mailing lists and Discourse

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Many (perhaps all) of the gnome.org mailing lsits are being moved to
Discourse. This apparently is a decision made by the Gnome Foundation
and has caused a good deal of consternation on at least some of said
lists. I speak mainly for the Evolution list but I think the same is
true on at least some others. Some of the discussion can be seen at:

https://mail.gnome.org/archives/evolution-list/2022-October/thread.html

There are two main points of contention:

1) Most members of these lists were not aware of the coming change
until very recently. I am a moderator of the Evolution list and knew
nothing about it before others.

2) In some ways many of us consider the Discourse platform to be
significantly inferior to a mailing list. It does offer a mailing list
interface but in several respects it is inadequate. I refer you to this
post which goes into some detail:

https://mail.gnome.org/archives/evolution-list/2022-October/msg00276.html

It appears that the gnome.org is hosted by RedHat, which is a member of
the Gnome Foundation. That being the case, I would like to know if
there is any danger (I use the word advisedly) of this list and others
in the Fedora ecosphere suffering the same fate.
