+1 for investigating Discourse. It was reviewed at the recent community meeting 
in Berlin and excitement was great. I agree with Daniel's concerns, and feel 
that the way Discourse works can help allay them. Especially the bridging of 
the traditional mailing list mode with a forum web interface can help making 
our discussions accessible to a wider range of people. The client-side 
Javascript to me is not a relevant issue anymore since JS is an open standard 
and browsers are sandboxed these days.

Best,

Mirko.
