FWIW, I am an admin over a private Discourse forum as far as forum software goes, it's pretty darn good and as Vincent said, I do use the mailing list option, so most of the time I just keep up to date via email, but then have the power discussion options of the forum when needed.

I guess we can try it.
Thanks, Caty

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
