Dear Morphmet community, Couple weeks prior to his sudden demise, I suggested Dennis to consider moving the morphmet at some point to a modern forum platform that support markups, code formatting and inline images.
You can check out https://discourse.slicer.org to see one in action. The main benefit that I see is the potential for a more community build up and engagement. For people who prefer to receive messages as emails (myself included), they can configure their accounts to subscribe to messages. Discourse is open-source and free to install and to use on ones own servers. There are various hosted options for a small fee too, https://www.discourse.org/pricing. It is sad having to talk about changes so soon after Dennis’s passing, but I thought it is an appropriate discussion to have. M From: K. James Soda <k.jamess...@gmail.com> Sent: Saturday, June 29, 2019 9:10 PM To: MORPHMET <morphmet@morphometrics.org> Subject: [MORPHMET] Morphmet in the Future Dear Fellow Morphometricians, I want to give a quick comment about the future of morphmet after Dennis's passing so that any necessary changes will not come as a surprise. Please rest assure that it is not a question of whether morphmet will continue but rather if any different procedures will be required to make or view posts. Right now, morphmet is linked to morphometrics.org<http://morphometrics.org>, which is a domain that belonged to Dennis himself. As a result, it is possible that, at some point in the future, morphmet may temporarily go down if the morphmetrics.org<http://morphmetrics.org> domain becomes unavailable. What does this mean for you as a member? Right now, very little. You can continue to post to morphmet and new members can join morphmet without interruption. If in the future, this ceases to be the case, you will receive an invitation to a near identical Google group that will function in the same manner as morphmet has operated since the 2014 transition. Invitations will likely be distributed over the course of two to three days. The invitation email will include instructions on any changes to the submission process, which will likely only include a new email address for making posts and a new web address for the forum. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me either on or off of the list (k.jamess...@gmail.com<mailto:k.jamess...@gmail.com>).
