Hi JB, Adding a users mailing list would be good from my POV. I imagine we could leave slack for more informal user-to-user discussions, while treating the users ML as a means for requesting information from Polaris developers / maintainers.
I imagine if something new or unusual but affecting many users were to come up in slack, it would not be unreasonable to move such a conversation to the users ML so that responses and advice would be archived for future reference. That said, I see some overlap with GH discussions, so I wonder if we may want to make GH discussion read-only if we enable the new ML (in order to direct all questions to one system). My personal preference is with users ML over GH discussions. Cheers, Dmitri.
