Thought I'd move the topic of a new communication tool to it's own thread. So
that it doesn't pollute the (already polluted) removal of language features
thread.
I took agree with Mark, I think it's time to move away from a mailing list and
the obvious choice for discussions like this is a forum. Discourse is one
option, but I'd also like to put our NodeBB[0] as another option.
Thoughts of how it might be better than the current mailing list:
- Doesn't pollute my inbox, option to subscribe and unsubscribe to particular
threads.
- Stops replies from showing up on some mail clients
(https://puu.sh/wThmq/ae276dd806.png)
- Universal formatting. esdiscuss.org seems to break formatting sometimes (or
put it in an attachement).
Negatives:
- People who already have a good system setup for mailing lists will have to
get used to working with a forum system.
- Will require either a OAuth account (Github perhaps?) or an extra username
and password.

I hope more people read and search https://esdiscuss.org
[https://esdiscuss.org/]/ and engage with history instead of coming as if to a
blank slate.
In all fairness, es-discuss is rather ancient in the way it works. I personally
would recommend es-discuss coming up with a better way to keep track of its
threads. The current setup is rather confusing, imo. FWIW, I personally would
recommend Discourse [https://www.discourse.org/]. I agree with you on the same
topics coming up constantly though.
