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. On 02/24/2017 06:18 AM, Vincent Massol wrote:
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
