Mailing lists and Discourse

Many (perhaps all) of the gnome.org mailing lsits are being moved to Discourse. This apparently is a decision made by the Gnome Foundation and has caused a good deal of consternation on at least some of said lists. I speak mainly for the Evolution list but I think the same is true on at least some others. Some of the discussion can be seen at: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/evolution-list/2022-October/thread.html There are two main points of contention: 1) Most members of these lists were not aware of the coming change until very recently. I am a moderator of the Evolution list and knew nothing about it before others. 2) In some ways many of us consider the Discourse platform to be significantly inferior to a mailing list. It does offer a mailing list interface but in several respects it is inadequate. I refer you to this post which goes into some detail: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/evolution-list/2022-October/msg00276.html It appears that the gnome.org is hosted by RedHat, which is a member of the Gnome Foundation. That being the case, I would like to know if there is any danger (I use the word advisedly) of this list and others in the Fedora ecosphere suffering the same fate. poc
