Q: So if a mailing list is mirrored to discourse it operates similar to nabble used to? Is searchable etc …
But replies done via discourse are not sent to mailing list subscribers - so it is one way communication. And the thinking here is that discourse is easier for people who want to ask a specific question without subscribing to a mailing list (and getting yet more email). -- Jody Garnett On Wed, Dec 27, 2023 at 9:07 AM Vicky Vergara <vi...@erosion.dev> wrote: > Hi Jody > > We are offering options > > Before: > Use mailing list > > After: > * Use mailing list and see the archives only on https://lists.osgeo.org/ > * Use mailing list and see the archives also on discourse > * Use discourse without a mailing list > > > This are the possibilities regarding migration of mailing list > * Have the mailing list migrated completely to discourse example [1] (Use > discourse without a mailing list, but get previous conversations from > mailing list) > * Have a mirror of the mailing in discourse example [2] (Use mailing list > and see the archives also on discourse) > * Have a category on discourse and not have a mailing list example [3] was > created by Jody (Use discourse without a mailing list) > * Opt to not migrate or mirror the mailing list example [4] (Use mailing > list and see the archives only on https://lists.osgeo.org/) > > [1] https://discourse.osgeo.org/c/qgis/qgis-fr-user/5 > [2] https://discourse.osgeo.org/c/sac-global-category/sac/13 > [3] https://discourse.osgeo.org/t/about-the-osgeo-site-feedback-category/1 > [4] https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/foss4g2008loc/ > > Regards > Vicky > > On Wed, Dec 27, 2023 at 10:16 AM Jody Garnett <jody.garn...@gmail.com> > wrote: > >> I was lurking in the sys admin chat as I was working on the osgeo sign up >> form.
