I did some research on discourse and found that it doesn't work as it described.
Alought it can receive and create new topics from mailing list, but it can't send mails to mailing list when posts or replies created at discourse. This will make it a possible read-only archives of our mailing list, or just another platforms for discussion. So: **For read-only archives** The read-only archives will be like: https://rubytalk.org/. Users need to reply by email instead. **For another new platform** I don't think another new platform is a good idea. Personally, I'd rather not have to monitor an additional platform beyond the mailing list, GitHub, and Discord. **Other solutions?** We could also consider hosting a modern frontend for our mailing list, similar to Hyperkitty. For instance, take a look at: https://ml.ruby-lang.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/[email protected]/ **Or just keep AS-IS** We can stick to our current communication methods if other options don't offer significant benefits.
