As per Moving your mailing list to OSGeo Discourse, "Option 2: Move to
discourse completely" the GRASS GIS team kindly asks to migrate the
"grass-dev" list (The grass-dev Archives) to
discourse, with the full mbox file which starts back in Dec 1991).
The organization shall be:
- `grass`\\
category, used as a folder, for sub-categories.
- `grass/grass-dev`\\
sub-category used to provide a searchable archive of the original
`grass-dev` full archive (currently at https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail
/grass-dev/).
The needed mbox file is found on the list server at\\
`/var/lib/mailman/archives/private/grass-dev.mbox/grass-dev.mbox`
Desired admin setup (OSGeo-IDs):
- main admin: `annakrat`
- co-admins: `veroandreo`, `neteler`, `wenzeslaus`
Reference: https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/grass-
dev/2024-August/096338.html
Thanks in advance!

Hi, sorry for the delay
I will need some information:
- Link to logo
- Short description
(I will append to the description how people can post on the list)
The categories can be linked to a group
Group: grass-dev
Category grass:
everyone: can see
Category grass/grass-dev:
group permissions:
grass-dev can see, can reply, can create
everyone: can see
That way, any one can see what is going on if they want, but to reply or
create a post they must register to the grass-dev group
I will also manage a little the users that I can see sent a mail recently
and already signed into discourse:
- will add them to the group.
- will give them a trust level 2
To the group admins:
- will give them a trust level 4
please read about trust levels

Hi Vicky, thanks. I just checked the staging link that Regina shared on
GRASS gitter channel.
**Seems threads are lost and this is something we want to avoid**.
Please see this: https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/grass-
dev/2024-September/thread.html. There's an email by Olivia with a reply
from @neteler that does not appear in the staging discourse instance
(https://discourse.staging.osgeo.org/c/grass-dev).

Comment (by cvvergara):
The import did not work well
there were many errors while indexing, for example:
{{{
Failed to index message in /shared/import/data/grass-dev/grass-dev.mbox at
lines 3298741-3298976
undefined method `sub' for an instance of Symbol
}}}
will need to break up the file into parts, do the import on staging by
sections so to find the problem with it.
the category was never created because of the errors I think.
