I have no experience with Discourse, I cannot judge how it works. Some
people, I see, like it.
Important is the push-effect. I read the openehr mailing list because it
is pushed to me. Else I would not read it.
Sorry for that, but my days are very filled up, it is easy to not do
something.
I am a member of some forums, became a member because I needed some
advice, and there are people on a forum posting all day.
But as soon as my business on a forum is done, I forget to go there.

educational events.
Thanks Ian for picking up and I agree with how you reformulated the idea.

Here's some links to existing forums using the Discourse forum
platform, which is what I propose we use for the openEHR community:
https://www.openhealthhub.org/
https://discourse.leighhack.org/
And here is the forum that the Discourse team uses for its own
software: https://meta.discourse.org/ It's notable as it has a good
example of a Marketplace area which can be used for software
announcements of the kind recently discussed.
In the main it works pretty similar to a mailing list (in that new
postings can be notified to users via email, just like people are used
to) except there is also a web interface for the forum which provides
a nice way of browsing content, especially older content.
It's fairly configurable, and there is quite a lot of flexibility to
create special interest areas/lists. The notifications are
user-customisable so it's easy to unsubscribe yourself from
notifications if you're getting too many.
I agree with Ian's suggestion to trial the forum and see how well it
works for this community.

Discourse has certainly worked pretty well for the Uk CCIO network.
Any objections to us giving it a trial, perhaps initially for 'general
discussion' and 'community news' tracks.
