Looked over the features, seems to cover most of my concerns except one:
migrating the current mailing list archives (at least I couldn't see it
in the features list). Do we care about that? Can it be scripted using
the API?
Anyway, +1.

Hi devs,
I’m proposing to vote for moving away from our users and devs mailing list and instead to
use the Discourse open source tool:
* Home page:
http://www.discourse.org/
* License: GPL v2
* FAQ:
http://www.discourse.org/faq/
* Awesome feature list:
http://www.discourse.org/about/
What is especially interesting for us:
* It works with mailing lists (you can receive mails and send mails to the forum).
* Works as a forum. BTW if you want to see a real life instance, check the gradle
instance at
https://discuss.gradle.org/
Nice things:
* Works on mobile
* Comprehensive API (would allow us to integrate it with
xwiki.org)
* Badges/user metrics
So here’s my +1 to try it out and ask XWiki SAS if they could host an instance.
WDYT? Do you see any negative point (I don’t ATM)? :)
Please cast your votes!
Thanks
-Vincent
