Unless I'm missing something, I am not sure that either of these things answers my questions. I am not asking the question "will switching to Discourse increase user engagement" (which seems to be what the linked Foreman article covers, unless I missed something?)-- I'm asking "what does the transition actually look like for current users of the mailing lists". > We're not talking about re-inventing the wheel here... nor are we the first organization that have done this. > > I'm sure there are lots of lessons learned available to review - and I would expect that the Fedora team > that is working on Discourse now is totally aware of this. Great, then it should be easy for someone to write up a change proposal-like document detailing the migration strategy. I am not saying switching to Discourse is a *bad* idea. I am saying that I, at least, would like to see a more serious proposal than simply "just do it because it's better". That might require switching one list over and seeing how well it works (and it sounded like the Council was considering doing this with council-discuss, which is probably a good first step).
