I would like to accelerate the move of `julia-users` to https://discourse.julialang.org. In the original announcement (https://groups.google.com/d/msg/julia-users/Ov1J6MOVly0/cD7vNKOUAgAJ) I mentioned a evaluation period of 4 weeks, but since then members of the community have been approaching me if we could speed that up. If you take issue with speeding things up please let me know.
The timeline for the move is as follows: - Discourse is available from now on and we encourage everybody to post new topics there. - On Monday November 21th, 9am JST julia-users will be set to read-only mode. - We are not doing an automated migration, because we want to give people the choice of opt-in; as such, we won't move over previous content or previous accounts. A common concern is whether or not you have to use Discourse as a forum or if you can still participate purely through e-mails. The short answer to that is that yes, you can! For the long answer head over to http://discourse.julialang.org/t/discourse-as-a-mailing-list for a description on how to set it up. If you have any concerns about this move please chime in either here or at https://discourse.julialang.org/t/migration-of-google-groups-to-discourse/ All the best, Valentin
