Hi dev@, I am glad to see more open discussion on the dev@ and user@ mailing lists. However, I also want to make sure that our website visitors can view, ask, or respond to questions from the community, in a user-friendly manner. I suspect that by relying only on mailing lists, we are losing engagement from users who don't like email and prefer other mediums, such as a Discourse forum <https://meta.discourse.org>. Other open source projects that have seen a recent sharp rise in popularity provide forums that see a ton of engagement, and provide user-friendly search and personalization tools that benefit users.
Henri, John and community - what are your thoughts on setting up a forum on the Apache MXNet site and integrating it with the mailing lists, so that every forum post triggers an email and vice versa? Everything gets documented as usual, but we boost engagement and reach of our content. Seb
