Re: [orca-list] Announcement: this mailing list will be retired by the end of Oct 2022

[Nimer Jaber <nimerjaber1 gmail com>]

Hello,

Given the number of messages and interest in such a short time, I've set up the orca-list Google group.

To subscribe, send a blank email to orca-list+subscribe googlegroups com or visit https://groups.google.com/g/orca-list

If it turns out that there is no reason for this group to exist, it can always be closed.

Thanks.

To be fair, I've seen on comments elsewhere that just because Python2 is
deprecated, doesn't mean people will abandon it.


I can cite numerous examples, and at least or me, I find Orca's keys
clash with Discourse's, plus I much prefer the convenience of an email
list to quickly check, vs having to log into a forum.

Has Discourse improved its email list options, since the last I heard,
you got every email in a big orum, then a digest, plus topics you
started. Has this changed at all?
