Hi all, I just received the dreaded message that this mailing list will vanish at the end of October 2022. They blame it on python2 deprecation and "major burden in managing lists spam", which sounds like the hollowest ever excuse to me. Nobody else is dropping their mailing lists because of python2 deprecation. They suggest I use discourse and will (somehow) give me tags to use it. I tried discourse once: It's inscrutable. I have no idea how to use tags.
So how do I get support for Evolution? How do I communicate with all of you? Could somebody with space, bandwidth and tech knowledge please set up an Evolution mailing list that has nothing with Gnome? I know that a $100/year account with Futurequest.com gives you a rudimentary mailing list: I'm not sure how well it would handle the load of the Evolution community, but maybe somebody can find out. Perhaps the Gnome project would be willing to spend a couple hundred bucks a year to "outsource" the Evolution mailing list. If not, could you at least set up an IRC channel for Evolution on libera.chat? It does no good to set it up on a Gnome resource, because Gnome now has a history of pulling the rug out on their projects. It's very simple to set up an IRC channel on libera.chat. If we don't all find an alternate way to communicate with each other during October, many of us will be unable to use discourse (does it depend on systemd or pulseaudio, for instance, because I don't have those, don't want them, and I'm not alone). Lacking a way to get help, I fear most of us will need to abandon Evolution. What good is software if you can't get help on it?
