I am +0.8 for building up a community forum there, for better or worse, a large chunk of the traffic here is just an announcement/formal list these days. It would be nice to have a community forum. +0.8 just because I am not sure I want to be pinned down on moderation. > email list migration, and have created the following two categories Personally, I currently lean to +0 if we aim for a larger community forum, otherwise -0. I am not sure that moving the list in its current form/volume is worth annoying those who prefer mail. But, I also think the creation of a user forum can be distinct from moving the "formal" uses of this mailing list – at least for a while. > for NumPy discussion: > > User discussion: https://discuss.scientific-python.org/c/user/numpy < > https://discuss.scientific-python.org/c/user/numpy/19> > Contributor discussion: > https://discuss.scientific-python.org/c/contributor/numpy < > https://discuss.scientific-python.org/c/contributor/numpy/18> > > We're happy to support this as part of the Scientific Python I do like is the idea of having a cross-project platform (both for devs and users/support). Not sure how well discourse will scale, if e.g. scipy also moved into one forum. But the tags and categories may have a lot of potential! If we have a plan e.g. to also move SciPy-dev to the same place, there could be a very concrete benefit of allowing easier reach across projects. (Even NumPy is pretty diverse in topics. Discussions in random numbers, fft, or linalg may find a lot of interest in SciPy.)
