Hi all,

I'll try to keep this brief, at least by my standards :)

Firstly, I think it's clear that the discussion is leaning towards
implementing Discourse for at least one, and possibly both, of the
mailing lists. Many people have contributed - I'd like to thank them all
for keeping this from descending into a flamewar :)

We do need to give the users list a little longer for feedback (it's
only been a week), but I think here we can start to talk about the
migration planning.

Since we all (or most?) need to start getting used to Discourse, I've
written up a draft migration plan there:

https://community.theforeman.org/t/draft-migration-plan-theoretical/7550

I've just updated it to reflect the latest discussions. No doubt I have
missed something though, so I've made it into a wiki post - feel free to
edit with suggestions.

There are two things I'd like to get input from people on:

# Moderators

I need a small team of moderators to deal with running the forum. I
don't expect it to take up much time, but it is important that more
people than just me know how things work. 3-4 people (including me) is
probably enough to start with.

So, volunteers needed! Don't make me start picking on people :)

# Choice of lists to migrate

As above, we have to decide if we migrate both lists or just one. I see
significant benefits on having everyone on the same platform (top 2 -
the @groups feature is very useful for discussions, and the
discoverability of dev discussions for users helps them to get involved
and grow our dev community). However, I know others are more cautious
than I.

Again, since we'll all likely be using Discourse in some capacity, I've
gone ahead and created a poll on Discourse for us. Please do leave your
feedback! Votes by email-response (here or on Discourse) are of course
acceptable for those allergic to UIs, I will add them in ;)

https://community.theforeman.org/t/poll-which-lists-should-migrate-to-discourse/7598

I've not covered foreman-announce - we use this so infrequently, and
posting rights are heavily restricted, so I think we can decide what to
do with it later.

Hang in there, we're getting to the fun bit! :)
Greg
