Yes. So Im going to discuss tools/platforms here one more time -- mostly to show how futile it is to discuss platforms and feature checklists. ;) E.g. a well-configured discourse.org forum could likely replace: - Nabble forums - Extension hosting - Template hosting - AskBot Still, I would object to simply "setup an instance" hard. Why? Because it would be yet-another-platform to maintain. The discourse maintainer would shout at the askbot maintainer that they should stop their stuff and really help with discourse. The askbot maintainer would shout at the Plone maintainer to stop their stuff and really help with askbot. The Plone maintainer would shout at the discourse maintainer to stop their stuff and help with Plone. Content (accounts, posts and entries) is king. Adding new CMSes without migrating old content over to it is splitting up our volunteer forces and leaving us with too little on all of them. So, to allow our volunteers to build awesome platforms, we need to have them focused. This is why consolidating content is important: If we have fewer platforms, we can have more hands and more content on those. Also, it makes it easier to migrate should we need to change platforms again someday, if our content is on fewer platforms. As such, wrt the "identify core usecases" task for the design mailing list, it is really about identifying the essential core functionality that we cannot live without and that have to be kept even over a migration to a new platform. Setting up a new platform requires having a plan to migrate existing content and user accounts. The fewer existing platforms need to be migrated, the better. Therefore adding platforms is always a burden for the future. The design mailing list OTOH should not be so much about identifying "nice-to-have"s. As a volunteer project, we do not have to priotize those: They get done, if a volunteer is excited by the idea and spends his time to implement it.
