As we previously announced [1], we are going ahead with the transition to Discourse for the grass-dev mailing list. Currently, the history is all ported to discourse and anybody can now conveniently view the entire archive and search through here [2]. The mailing list is now mirrored, new posts to the the mailing list are visible in discourse. This gives us time to finish the transition, allowing everybody to migrate. Some time in November if everything goes well, we will close the current mailing list (the archive stays).
To continue receiving messages, please register [3] now and join the grass developer group [4]. Once you are set, you can post new messages to grass-dev@discourse.osgeo.org in the same way as before (just different email address).
We hope to be able to send out automatic invites for people to join the group sometime next week, but I suggest not to wait and register now.
Thank you for your patience during this transition.
Anna

Hi all, I am figuring out discourse. What is the best option from among the choices in the bell icon to mimic a digest of topics: Watching, Tracking, Watching first post, Normal? I think it would be “Watching First Post,” but wondered if those who are more familiar with discourse would have some advice.
Thanks!

My current understanding is for digest (daily/weekly) you can use the Activity Summary:
I haven’t been able to test this yet, but it should prioritize the topics based on your “bell” settings in each category. By default, it looks like all your categories (except of grass) are set to normal (direct mentioning or replies to your post), if you mute them, they shouldn’t pop-up in your digest.
Hi Isaac,
digest of topics - I’m not 100% sure what you mean, but specifically the daily digest of grass-dev would not make much a difference in the past year. Given the number of messages shown in grass-dev Mailman web pages, every month had less than 30 messages (not topics), except Feb and Mar with 60 and 66 messages, so still roughly 2 emails per day only.

Ok, thanks Vaclav! I mainly am after an efficient way to monitor for new topics without necessarily following every thread of replies for each one. I think the current setting is the right one for this. I appreciate the response!
