I would much prefer google groups to anything else. Please do not change!

The problem is not what I do, the problem is when other is using markdown. How it would look like in a text only mail client. There are some that is using HTML on this list, and reference the text in blue or the bold text, since I use text only I don't see that and can't help them. > > I find forum hard to use, all people top post so you don't know what they > > are replaying to (I know, a lot of people do that here also). > > Threading doesn't work properly, technical and because people don't > > replay to a post, but to the thread. > > Heh, I'd say the exact opposite.

If the threads break off into separate conversations that has nothing to do with the subject the subject must change. If it's related but separated I like that, because it that is not a interesting sub-thread I can ignore that sub-thread. But this also boils down to personal preference. > > On a forum you need to create yet another account. > > Not necessarily true.

> I don't see that, plain text with monospace font is better. I've been reading a book about a javascript library on my tablet lately. I tried changing some of the color settings in order to make it easier to read. That messed up the code syntax colors, so all I was left with was a different font and indenting. That was much harder to read than a color coded syntax. So there is definitely a large amount of personal preference in this area.

Heh, I'd say the exact opposite. Email threads are horrid to read. Trying to find the right reply in any mailing list archive is an exercise in frustration. When the threads break off into separate conversations, it's impossible to get a good view of the whole topic, it's just terrible. > On a forum you need to create yet another account.

I find forum hard to use, all people top post so you don't know what they are replaying to (I know, a lot of people do that here also). Threading doesn't work properly, technical and because people don't replay to a post, but to the thread.

Re: [ansible-project] Can Ansible consider switching from Google Groups to a Discourse instance?
mailman has a forum like interface? I thought it was just a pure email only app... You learn something new every day... :) Would you prefer a Discourse instance to Google Groups, though? Maybe if enough people want it, the core team would consider it. - David On Sunday, February 18, 2018 at 3:13:12 PM UTC-8, Toshio Kuratomi wrote: > > I don't think this would happen.

Re: [ansible-project] Can Ansible consider switching from Google Groups to a Discourse instance?
I don't think this would happen. I have asked the core team about switching from Google groups to a mailman 3 instance that has a forum-like interface to the archives but there didn't seem to be any other interest in that. -Toshio On Feb 18, 2018 12:34 PM, "David Reagan" <jer...@gmail.com> wrote: I did a search, and I think the last time switching from mailing lists to a forum was discussed was in 2014 here: https://groups.google.com/d/ topic/ansible-project/3NkSXNxULFw/discussion Can Ansible consider switching from Google Groups to a Discourse instance?
