Cox. Yeah, it is kind of confrontational; there's a big difference between 'Should Fedora replace mailing lists with Discourse?' and 'Fedora should replace mailing lists with Discourse.' One implies a community discourse, the other implies a decision already made. > As I previously mentioned with all the top-posting, excerpts and > hyperbole > interjected by others people > get lost and run with mis-quotes - perhaps Discourse could help with > that. ;-) > > Software is a tool for me.

It isn't free for people who have already a good working system to adopt Discourse. They have to invest time and effort in learning, adapting, and helping fix the new system. What's in it for them? I've had this happen to me in the past, but I was paid by my employer for the time and effort. You aren't really selling Discourse, so much as trying to bludgeon people into going along with your opinion. Anyone who's been around the block a few times knows that there are lots of fads with fabulous press that don't pan out. So, you are really gung-ho for Discourse. What is your personal experience of using it on a project, before and after? Did you actually see more engagement? Did the process of development run smoother than it had before? Did new contributors join the project you were working on? Did experienced contributors keep contributing? Did it help build community spirit? Did it make *your* life easier? _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
