I think Trello is a TODO list tool, while Discourse is a discussion 
forum, so one probably cannot replace the other. As a team, we don't use 
a TODO list tool other than the issues on Github. I personally use 
Nirvana (https://www.nirvanahq.com) which I can recommend.

Re: alternative to language constructor

2015-12-16 Thread Richard Eckart de Castilho 
Factory method sounds good. The only thing not nice is that static methods
cannot be governed by an interface which would formally conventionalized them
across all languages.

Personally, I like the method where I can pass a language code as a String
and get back the proper language:

  Languages.getLanguageForShortName(langCode)

Wouldn't it be reasonable to discourage directly constructing languages
in favor of using a central factory class like Languages?

Best,

Short update: I'm now working on migrating our forum to Discourse. A 
Discourse forum has been set up already, but the content from the old 
forum will need to be migrated and that might take some time.
