[Paraview] [EXTERNAL] Re: Idea: move from mailing lists to discourse

[Scott, W Alan]

Without much study, I agree with Cory.  The current e-mail system feels unwieldy and noisy to me, and is hard to search.  Furthermore, I find it hard to browse back in time for something I remember, but can’t find the search terms for (and have deleted).  Discourse feels closer to our current gitlab bug tracker, which has been very successful.  Let a tool manage the mailing list, rather than my inbox.

+1.

Discourse includes a mailing list mode that, with some caveats, behaves like the current mailing list if you prefer that mode. The integrated search feature is nice to have - I usually resort to searching the ParaView mailing list in markmail's archive, which usually works, but an additional step that wouldn't be needed with an integrated search. Having different categories for beginners, developers, announcements, etc. would be great. You can watch or unwatch different categories, tag posts with keywords, and bookmark certain posts you'd like to revisit. It just seems great all around.

Folks,

I know ITK community have moved on to discourse
(https://discourse.itk.org/) and from what I've heard, the experience
has been great. Is it time for ParaView mailing lists to move to
Discourse as well?

What are people's feelings about it?
