New Github Discussions for Users

:loudspeaker: New GitHub Discussions Channel for GeoNetwork Users!

we are pleased to announce the launch of a new GitHub Discussions channel specifically for GeoNetwork users! This is not a migration away from Discourse, but rather a complementary space to facilitate communication within the user group defined during the User Meetings.

:link: Where to find it?

You can join the discussions here:
GitHub Discussions - GeoNetwork (Users Category)

:speech_balloon: What’s the purpose of this channel?

This channel is designed to:

  • Focus on user-oriented documentation: Discuss, provide feedback, and ask questions about the new user documentation (soon available on the GeoNetwork Wiki).

  • Host user meeting summaries: Share and discuss key takeaways, decisions, and action items from GeoNetwork User Meetings.

  • Enhance community communication: Provide a dedicated space for announcements, updates, and discussions relevant to the GeoNetwork user community.

:rocket: Why use GitHub Discussions for this?

  • Centralized and organized: All user-related discussions, documentation feedback, and meeting notes are gathered in one place.

  • Better visibility and tracking: Easier to follow up on discussions, updates, and community decisions.

  • Closer to the project: Directly linked to GeoNetwork’s codebase and documentation, making it easier to contribute and stay informed.

This channel is intended to streamline communication for the user group, as agreed during the User Meetings. We encourage all users who are part of this group to join, share your thoughts, and actively participate!

Best regards,
