https://blog.discourse.org/2016/03/free-discourse-forum-hosting-for-communit... They offer free hosting to open source projects if the repo has more than 30 contributors and 2000+ stars.
We have 55 contributors and 214 stars. We could make a campaign to get more stars :)
It could be interesting but I think we'd be better off hosting it ourselves since that allows us more control: plugins we install, config, etc. Now it would certainly relieve us from some maintenance such as upgrades! A campaign to get more stars wouldn't hurt anyway ;) Thanks -Vincent

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
