Re: Discourse for GNOME docs

[Jim Campbell <jwcampbell gmail com>]

I know that Mozilla has moved (at least many of) their mailing lists to Discourse, and that you can reply to Discourse threads via email (i.e., you don't need to use a web browser to participate in discussions). There's even the ability to import GNU Mailman messages and threads into Discourse.

Being able to follow doc tags would probably open us up to docs-discussions in other list that we otherwise might not see. That would be good.

I'd defer to Petr and others on making such a transition, though.

How do we request a docs tag? Asking in one of the Discourse threads, maybe?
This could be an interesting alternative to getting mode feedback on GNOME
docs, since the docs feedback ML linked from help.g.o doesn't quite work,
though I also think deprecating MLs in favor of Discourse for project
discussion would be a bit preliminary.
