Ah, there was also some concern over archiving of a discourse, which we'd hoped was trivial through
"mailing list mode", but apparently that may not be the case. Further thoughts on that are welcome.

On the call the vote was split between "host our own ML, or maybe use groups.io" and "some discourse
instance, probably delvingbitcoin.org", with a weak majority for the second.
With that in mind, we're gonna give delvingbitcoin.org a try, at least for two weeks, and then we
can come back to this and discuss!
Some folks indicated they'd like to interact with it via the supposed "mailing list mode", but sadly
AJ indicated it may not be super reliable (and seems to be disabled on delvingbitcoin.org). I've
asked AJ to enable it so people can maybe try it out but we'll see if it works. Sadly if you don't
enable this mode it appears you cannot post via email.

Because this is new, we'll have another discussion in two weeks about if people are happy with this
as a solution/if we should host our own discourse (not sure why)/if we should go back to the mailing
list plan. Those who have a view can also respond to this email and I'll raise it in the meeting.

During the last meeting it came up that the mailing list here will likely shut down somewhere
around the end of the year. We listed basically the following options for future discussion forums:
* google groups as a mailing list hoster. One question was whether its friendly to subscribing
without a gmail account, which may be limiting to some.
* github discussions on the lightning org. One question is whether the moderation tools here are
sufficient.
* Someone (probably me) host a mailman instance and we use another mailing list. I dug into this a
bit and am happy to do this, on the one condition that the ML remains fully moderated, though this
doens't seem like a substantial burden today. One question is if spam-foldering will be an issue,
but with full moderation I'm pretty confident this will be tolerable, at least for those with
email hosted anywhere but Microsoft lol.
* A discourse instance (either we host one or we use delvingbitcoin, which AJ hosts and has
previously offered to set up a lightning section on).
There was some loose discussion, but I'm not sure there's going to be a clear conclusion. Thus, I
think we should simply vote at the next meeting after a time-boxed minute or two discussion. If
anyone has any thoughts or would like to have their voice heard, they can join the meeting in a
week and a day or can respond here and I'll do my best to repeat the views expressed on the call.
