I have collected some data on the impact of moving to Discourse for both the ITK and Slicer communities. Using average monthly posts as a proxy for community engagement, the data suggests the move has been very positive for increasing engagement:
For ITK, monthly messages to the itk-users and itk-developers [1] list averaged 148 while on Discourse the average has been 297. For Slicer, monthly messages to the slicer-users and slicer-developers list averaged 274 while on Discourse the average has been 639. It looks like activity has doubled or more for both projects, a positive sign for both communities. Thanks, Cory [1] Messages to the ITK "community" mailing list have been excluded as most are copied to the itk-users or itk-developers list. I have not accounted for double counting where messages are sent to both users and developers lists.
