[vtkusers] Idea: move from mailing lists to Discourse

[Elvis Stansvik]

I'd be OK with it under slightly protest. The HDF5 list which I follow
recently switched to Discourse.

What I don't like about it is that I have to view HTML mail, and that
when I set my e-mail client to non-HTML in my answer, the quotations
are not maintained, in effect forcing me to reply with a HTML mail as
well.

E.g. quotations are graphically formatted using HTML, and if I remove
formatting I don't get:

>> foo
>> bar
> baz

Instead it's all flattened to

> foo
> bar
> baz

:(

Also the avatar images in the HTML mails are quite distracting.

I don't use the forum aspects so I can't speak for what advantages they bring.

Is it time for VTK mailing lists to move to Discourse as well?
