OK, some questions I expect to come up: * Will the mailing list import be kept up to date?
Yes, I plan to update it every day or two. Happily it's incremental (no 7 hour import) but sadly it's not something that's easy to automate. It's also why I've not renamed the categories yet, or fixed split-users (where a person has used more than on email address) - since the import recreates anything it can't find, we'd get duplicates. The sync is one-way, nothing done on Discourse will go back to the list, but I'd ask that you treat the list categories as read-only for now, and play around in the Test category, in case it confuses the importer. * Can I use email? Yes, entirely if you wish. The catgories will have direct in-bound email address (only the Test category has one right now), and all outgoing emails have a reply-to set. We've tested it, and things like in-line replies, URLs, and formatting seem OK. * Can I log in with GitHub (or other)? Yes, but the catch is that while the accounts are locked, GitHub login will still work (unlike using password reset) - so you may see weirdness if your account is not unlocked yet. Try it if you like though, it's enabled. If we migrate fully over, then all accounts will get unlocked and this will work fully. * Are there spam controls like Groups? Yes, and we'll actually have a lot more control over automating this. I can go into details if people want more detail * Won't it be hard to get people to update addressbooks? Yes. We can mititgate this. Firstly, we'll obviously give appropriate notice to the community - I don't expect us to migrate next week. Second, once the groups are "closed" we *could* consider redirecting mails to the Google groups addresses to Discourse, or bounce them back with an appropriate message to the user. The categories will have in- bound addresses, so they just need to update 2 addresses in their contacts. Hit me with more!
