Hello,

As I doubt I will spend much time on Discourse or any other web forum, and as I am losing the convenience of email for the intent behind this list, I'd like to see if others feel the same way, and whether there is any interest in creating a list on another provider such as Google groups. It saddens me that the needs and desires of our community weren't considered, and feedback wasn't sought before a decision like this was forced on us, but we as a community could band around another list, if people are interested and think it would see some use. Otherwise, if people are content with the new Discourse, then please disregard this message.

Thanks.

Hi,

As we have been communicating during the past few months GNOME's Mailman platform is being decommissioned (python2 deprecation, major burden in managing lists spam). The deadline is currently set to the end of October 2022. Mailing list subscribers are invited to migrate to GNOME's Discourse instance [1]. Neil made sure [2] to create a set of tags you can re-use to initiate a new topic in the new platform, if a tag is missing please reach out to me directly.

Jehan (from the GIMP Team) kindly provided some instructions you can follow [3] in order to safely migrate your reading workflow to Discourse. The new platform supports several login methods including your GNOME Account and other major OpenID providers.

After the deadline of the end of October Mailman archives will remain alive in read only mode for posterity. If the mailing list was used behind an alias, please let me know so we can re-do the same setup but on Discourse instead.

Thanks,

P.S All the l10n lists are still pending code changes in damned-lies, the deadline to decommission those lists may slip by a week or two depending how soon those changes will be made available in DL codebase
