I'm not emotionally attached to it, but I am somewhat afraid that
Discourse will be a success. Forum-type communication websites do not
work for me personally, so if this mailing list moved to Discourse, my
involvement could drop drastically depending on how the email
integration works. For example, github and bugzilla work because they
have full email messages. I don't have to go to the website to get the
rest of the message. I do have to go there in order to reply, but
that's mostly ok. However, most forums just send you an email saying
there's something new on the topic with maybe a truncated bit of the
message and I have to go to the website to figure out what's happened.
That does not work and I have very little participation on those.
I find that email works really well. It's easy to search, I control the
labelling, organizing and filtering, I can back it up, I can use it
offline, minimal data usage on my phone, and so on. Features that just
aren't going to work on a website-based system.
