But (leaving aside "I don't think that solves everything I want to address"), hosted solutions are difficult because if Red Hat is paying for it, there is an enterprise-contract process to go through, and generally a lot of vendor scrutiny and demands -- much of which is good and some of which I feel is overkill. It took over a year each to get Element (Matrix) and CDCK (the Discourse company) through the process -- and those companies had already dealt with enterprise contracts. I think it's unlikely we'll find a good open source option. > Discourse needs to solve the same issues to keep email notifications > working. Do we know how well they are doing?

I was recently talking to them about the possibility of using @fedoraproject.org sender / inbound addresses, and got an overview of their infrastructure and it's enough that it made me bookmark the whole thing for when I have more time. :) I turned off the mailing list mode on purpose. There's a subthread somewhere here about it. I feel like it's a trap -- it does not really enable anything special, but instead is "subscribe to ALL LISTS". That's not the best option for most people -- even people who are looking for mailing-list behavior. (It might made sense for smaller forums where the entire forum is the equivalent of one list.) If there's enough demand, we can put it back. As mentioned in the other subthread, if so I'll probably rename publicly-facing option to something more descriptive. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
