+1 -----Original Message----- From: Paul Irwin <paulir...@gmail.com> Sent: Friday, September 5, 2025 8:54 AM To: dev@lucenenet.apache.org Subject: [VOTE] Enable GitHub Discussions I would like to propose for approval that we enable GitHub Discussions <https://docs.github.com/en/discussions> on our Lucene.NET <https://github.com/apache/lucenenet/> repo. This email starts a 72-hour approval vote for PMC members. You can see a PR of how we do this via the .asf.yaml file here: https://github.com/apache/lucenenet/pull/1174 This GitHub feature will help encourage community discussions about our project, and hopefully improve community engagement. Today, the only way to have these discussions is either via GitHub issues (which should be reserved for feature/bug tracking), emailing this or the user@ mailing list, or via our Slack (which requires an Apache account or invitation to join). This will give people a way to ask questions or otherwise discuss things about the project outside of these channels, in a less formal setting than the mailing lists. If the vote passes, I will merge the linked PR above which should automatically enable the feature without having to submit an Apache Infra ticket. Please share your thoughts on this when voting! You're also welcome to review or comment on the PR, but reviews of it will not be considered a binding vote. Only votes from the PMC are binding, but everyone is welcome to vote. Please reply with your +1 or -1 vote, with or without any comments. The vote passes if at least three binding +1 votes are cast. Paul Irwin Lucene.NET PMC Member Apache Software Foundation Member
