Simple the fact, that I have to read this site to understand how to 
interact with Discourse by mail, is an evidence that communicating via 
this kind of plattform is more complicated then using email and not very 
inclusive for people with a not so big technical background.

As already said, its not the problem with accessiblity. The sites can be 
used with orca and a grafical browser. But it is more complicated  then 
using normal email, it excludes people who still work in a pure 
textbased environment and it excludes people who are not expirenced 
enough to use that kind of technique. It might make live easier for 
expirenced users, but it will take more time for all users and it might 
exclude other users which can communicate via mail, but who might not be 
able to use webbased forums. If the forum for a software, that should be 
helpfull for people, is causing the same people problems and makes them 
difficult to participate in discussions, IMHO this is the wrong aproach. 
Its just not inclusive :-(.

Just my 2 cents,
