I'm sorry again, please ignore this message:

# I was afraid that I was posting the same message redundantly, so I will
just
use chapel-users@...
# One reason I prefer web-based services rather than mailing lists is
that I edit posts later (e.g. fix typos/unclear expressions or add
more information).

>> Hi guys --
>>
>> We've been (slowly) having discussions that are _somewhat_ similar to
>> this within the team at Cray, motivated in part by a desire to move away
>> from SourceForge mailing lists (and in part for want of something better).
>> You can see some indications of this discussion (and chime in on it for
>> aspects related to mailing list replacements) here:
>>
>> https://github.com/chapel-lang/chapel/issues/6440
>>
>> You're also welcome to open an issue with a more specific IRC replacement
>> theme (e.g., "create a stateful alternative to IRC"). At a high level I'll
>> say that I'm open to this, though also nervous about switching technologies
>> too frequently (and/or continually growing the number of forums we need to
>> monitor).
>>
>>
>> I would also be happy to utilize such a "3rd" forum if available
>>> for asking questions & topics that do not fit very well with
>>> StackOverflow and Github issue (e.g., asking practical experience,
>>> code design, performance tips, etc..).
>>>
>>
>> I think, today, the IRC channels and Chapel mailing lists are that third
>> (and fourth) forum, for better or worse.
>>
>>
>> Though I have no experience of Gitter/Slack/IRC,
>>> one forum I felt convenient is Discourse because it
>>> provides various features including bookmarking.
>>> https://www.discourse.org/
>>>
>>
>> We looked into Discourse a bit (and haven't ruled it out yet). I'd say
>> the two biggest negatives are a likely increase in hosting cost for our
>> website and the learning curve/effort to establish it (set it up and
>> organize it). There'd also be some learning curve to utilizing it (for
>> those of us who haven't), though I think this is less significant.
>>
>>
>> I'm not very familiar with Gitter (i.e., we didn't explore it as a
>> mailing list alternative). Would it be accurate to say that, like a
>> chatroom, it is a single logical stream of chats (i.e., no thread hierarchy
>> or tree-based structure?). I.e., it'd be much more of an IRC replacement /
>> addition than a mailing list replacement? Does it story history, permit
>> tagging users and notifications to them when they come back online?
>>
>> If so, chat.stackexchange.com seems to provide a similar service (IRC
>> with history, persistence, and notifications even when you're offline), and
>> has the benefit of being integrated with StackOverflow. (I also happen to
>> be familiar with it, so can imagine what using it is like better than
>> Gitter... not that I'm ruling it out, just curious for a comparison between
>> the two).
>>
>> I'm similarly unfamiliar with Slack, though I have a positive impression
>> of it. That said, I don't have a sense of where it falls in this space and
>> how it would be as an IRC and/or mailing list replacement.
