Just saw a recent article that somewhat is related to this topic: (in the spirit of "email vs web")
Leaving python-dev behind https://lwn.net/Articles/901744/ Quotes: Discourse is an open-source web forum project that says it aims to "reimagine what a modern Internet discussion forum should be today, in a world of ubiquitous smartphones, tablets, Facebook, and Twitter" That led to some predictable grumbling about Discourse and the problems with following a web-based forum in comparison to a mailing list. That divide comes up whenever changes of this sort are announced or discussed, but newer developers generally seem to be uninterested in learning the "joys" of participating on mailing lists. In part, that is because the relevance of email as a communication mechanism has fallen almost completely off the radar for many. While there were posts with the usual negative opinions of web forums versus email, they were fairly muted. To an extent, it would seem that there is a generational change going on in the Python community; the older developers are either adapting, perhaps via mailing-list mode, or kind of just bowing out. For those of us who cut our teeth on threaded, text-only, bottom-posted discussions, it is completely mind-boggling that Kids These Days (tm) do not see the advantages of such ... discourse—but that seems to be the way of things. - Qian On 7/23/22 09:17, Qian Yun wrote:
There were several times that GitHub does not display email replies from Waldek. This is already causing headaches for me and I think this situation is bad for the collaboration of the FriCAS project. First, I understand that, for privacy reasons or other reasons, an email based workflow can be preferred over a web based one. I can think of 2 solutions right now: 1. It seems that Waldek is using one email account for googlegroups and another email account for GitHub replies. I guess you are managing the 2 email accounts in a single email client locally. If so, I wonder if it is possible/convenient to send the reply to googlegroups/GitHub issues through 2 email accounts simultaneously. 2. Setup some GitHub Actions script to forward every GitHub issue comments to fricas-devel. Then when the issue is resolved, we can sync the status back to GitHub. - Qian
