It’s time to transform the Fedora devel list into something new
===============================================================



As someone that read this list 99% ot the time and 1% for replying, I have no problem with having a web based forum for discussions, but that kind of software if always awful for my kind of usage.

I like the mailing list methos because I get all the threads and I see what I wish to read in order to be informed of the general direction of the project and ignore the ones I don't want to, with a simple responsive UI, that even works when I am offline.

I know that there are people that love web based forums (I don't), but in order to not leave people behind with a lot of experience in the project, for new ones, maybe instead of only proposing a change, maybe proposing a change with good email integration is better.

Discourse default email integration is bad IMHO. The model I wish to have with email integration are the tools that were installed for the OpenJDK - GitHub integration. in that mailing list, you never notice you are reading a bunch of emails that comes from GitHub comments and I can pretty much read the entire discussions from my email client, without ever using a web browser.

I forgot to add. Discourse is worse for mobile users, the "app" was just an embedded web browser, the only thing efficient it did was to get a notification and remembering your session, everything else is worse that writing an email on a email client for phones.
