Re: [GRASS-dev] Migration to Discourse

Hi Roger,

I’ve looked at the Discourse site and a couple things might be helpful to you.

  1. I have not yet seen this in action, but it look like you can request an email digest of recent posts, pretty much like the current digest.

  2. You can filter and search the forum more easily than you could with the old MailMan online email threads. This may make it easier to find posts about rgrass

Moving to discourse replacing digested grass-dev is not a viable option for me. Such platforms raise the noise to signal ratio, so picking out information relevant for the R/GRASS interface will simply become much more time consuming, compared to scanning the daily digest. So I will not be accepting the invitation.

Should anyone involved in the R rgrass package and transitioning to discourse themselves be willing to take over maintaining the package now, I’d be grateful if you could express your willingness now.

Hi Roger,

regarding the maintenance of rgrass, I suggest to seek new maintainers by posting a new, dedicated email thread to grass-dev and grass-stats. Is there any documentation that would help onboard potential maintainers?
