[Evolution] My first attempt to migrate to Discourse

[Ralf Mardorf <silver bullet zoho com>]

Hi,

 1. I opened https://discourse.gnome.org/ with Waterfox.
 2. I clicked "Log In"
 3. I clicked "with GitHub"
 4. Evolution retrieved emails
 5. I copied the verification code to the GidHub device verification
 6. "GNOME Discourse by GNOME Infrastructure Automation Bot
    wants to access your R-a-l-f account"
 7. I authorized gnomesysadmins
 8. Authorizing did redirect to https://discourse.gnome.org
 9. "Welcome!
    Let's create your account"
10. I clicked "Create your account"
11. White text on a shadowed forum interface:
    "Your first notification! Select it to begin.
     I'll read it later.
     Not your first time? Skip these tips"
12. I read the "Greetings!

    Thanks for joining GNOME Discourse, and welcome!

    I’m only a robot, but our friendly staff are also here to help if
    you need to reach a person.

    For safety reasons, we temporarily limit what new users can do.
    You’ll gain new abilities (and badges) as we get to know you.

    We believe in civilized community behavior at all times.

13. I clicked the search icon and searched for
    "applications discourse gnome org"
14. The search returned "No results found."
15. I searched for "evolution" "in all topics and posts"
16. I selected the latest entry with the tags
    "Applications" "evolution" "calendar"
17. I clicked the "evolution" tag
18. I muted the bell icon. I've got no idea how to continue to subscribe
    to a mailing list behaviour, let alone that I still would have to
    change the GitHub mail account for Discourse to my Evolution
    mailing list account.
19. I should search my Evolution mailing list emails. IIRC somebody sent
    a howto. Maybe I will do so, but not right now.

Even if we should be able to use this thingy as a mailing list, there
will unlikely be a lot of new subscribers who are friends of mailing
lists, hence new subscribers will probably not follow posting style
etiquette (if this should be possible at all), let alone that Evolution
Discourse subscribers that were using it way before we subscribe(ed),
unlikely will care about those of us, who are in favour of mailing list
style and etiquette.

This was my first attempt to migrate to Discourse. It failed, since the
forum interface isn't intuitive to use. The layout is a PITA, absolutely
nothing easily leads to a mailing list behaviour.

Regards,
Ralf
