[Geoserver-devel] osgeo discourse option for mailing list / forum

Looks like osgeo is setting up discourse as a mailing list option when migrating from mailman 2. This can take the place of nabble as a searchable history (for osgeo lists), or operate as a forum - opening up for more casual communication that signing to an email list.

How do we feel about that? Do we wish to migrate from sourceforge?

For my own thoughts …

I like the idea, and could see running it just as a discussion forum. Ideally similar stack exchange where questions can stay answered.

I also like that there is a adtivepub feed for folks wishing to follow via mastodon.

It will be a challenge to transfer from SF; but we can make the request to collect the mailman archive. If we cannot keep our history I am not so interested.

There seems to be advice for importing a mailing list https://meta.discourse.org/t/migrate-a-mailing-list-to-discourse-mbox-listserv-google-groups-etc/79773
One advantage of forum like stackexchange is that it is easier to utilize images and attachments in the questions and answers but we should decide what kind of attachments would be accepted https://meta.discourse.org/t/understanding-uploads-images-and-attachments/275735

A Discourse forum may require more moderation than a mailing list but it is hard to know beforehand.

+0.5 - I’m worried about the moderation burden too, also seems like we’ll get more drive by questions where the asker doesn’t stay to become part of the community

I have started a ticket here https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/3104 to check if it is possible to migrate from SF mailman.

The document I found here indicates some kind of export is possible https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/documentation/Mailing%20List%20Archives/

Open to try this out,
as others have already voiced, the user list is already getting several unanswered posts, making it easier to post
is likely going to make that worse… unless some people that “drive by” start answering while they browse?
My experience tells me no, I don’t believe it happened with Nabble, but who knows.

It seems one can add some description below the title, we should place there the usual links we have at the bottom of
mails sent to the list, along with a clear warning that the forum is powered by volunteers and one cannot expect
to get an answer within a given deadline, or an answer at all.

Cheers

It maybe moot - I could not get the documented export from SF to download.

Can someone else try…
