Re: Moving Engagement List to Discourse

[Britt Yazel <bwyazel gnome org>]

I just open the page in the browser and on mobile it works completely fine. There's no need for an app if that's an issue

After investingating Discourse esterday, I do have some objections

that I think should be considered. Though the software itself is free,

the mobile app is proprietrary and the Android version has a hard dependency

on the proprietary Google Chrome app. I don't think we should force developers to

use proprietary applications for out official communication channels.

Mailing lists do not have this problem because there are many free software

e-mail clients.

I brought this up in Telegram but didn't receive any objections. The GTK team are moving to discourse and I asked Neil if he could move us as well. Mailman is a sad anachronistic technology to be sent to the garbage bin. As well, maintenance is a pain because of all the spam. Moving to discourse has proven to improve discussions by those who have moved from it. If you have objections, please speak up. You can still interact by mail like you could previously so you won't see too much change. But I hope we will have good experience by being to have more and better conversations. If you have no objection, say nothing and I'll work on moving us out as soon as GTK gets finished. I'll move the rest of the engagement like lists that I manage as well.
