Looked over the features, seems to cover most of my concerns except one:
migrating the current mailing list archives (at least I couldn't see it
in the features list). Do we care about that? Can it be scripted using
the API?

Anyway, +1.

Hi,

Sounds interesting. Hope it won`t be complicated to host it ourselves and
that we won`t have service interruptions due to hosting problems.

Also, it would be interesting if it would also accept guest posts (i.e. no
registration just to ask a question).

+1 from my side to try it out.

Thanks,
Eduard

+1, looks awesome and can be SSO integrated I hope it will give us the best of 
both worlds. I wonder if we can also reintegrate the archives.

[Keith Davis]

FWIW, I am an admin over a private Discourse forum as far as forum software
goes, it's pretty darn good and as Vincent said, I do use the mailing list
option, so most of the time I just keep up to date via email, but then have
the power discussion options of the forum when needed.

[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Move from our mailing lists and use Discourse instead

[Vincent Massol]

Hi devs,

I’m proposing to vote for moving away from our users and devs mailing list and 
instead to use the Discourse open source tool:

* Home page: http://www.discourse.org/
* License: GPL v2
* FAQ: http://www.discourse.org/faq/
* Awesome feature list: http://www.discourse.org/about/

What is especially interesting for us:
* It works with mailing lists (you can receive mails and send mails to the 
forum).
* Works as a forum. BTW if you want to see a real life instance, check the 
gradle instance at https://discuss.gradle.org/

Nice things:
* Works on mobile
* Comprehensive API (would allow us to integrate it with xwiki.org)
* Badges/user metrics

So here’s my +1 to try it out and ask XWiki SAS if they could host an instance.

WDYT? Do you see any negative point (I don’t ATM)? :)

Please cast your votes!

Thanks
-Vincent
