+1 for Discourse, which I could have done without spamming the list with another message if this were Discourse :)

Ah, my bad. I (also back when this thread started) thought it was meant to be used "now", and if people seemed to be switching by themselves, there would be an official change. Sorry for the misunderstanding :) On Saturday, February 20, 2016 at 9:20:41 PM UTC+1, Jonathan Malmaud wrote: > > That

The official switch would include using discourse.julialang.org as the domain and up-to-date transfer of threads. On Sat, Feb 20, 2016 at 3:20 PM, Jonathan Malmaud wrote: > That site is just a tech demo so we can see what it would be like to > switch to Discourse; it wouldn't be in actual use un

That site is just a tech demo so we can see what it would be like to switch to Discourse; it wouldn't be in actual use until a decision was made to switch over to it. On Sat, Feb 20, 2016 at 3:10 PM Patrick Kofod Mogensen < patrick.mogen...@gmail.com> wrote: > Isn't it dead? Latest posts seem to

Isn't it dead? Latest posts seem to be from October last year, or am I looking at the wrong forum? Obviously, people don't mind this format.

Re: [julia-users] Re: ANN: A potential new Discourse-based Julia forum

Hi guys, Discourse can be used as a mailing list just as Google Groups can, and it should be possible to import the current subscribers to this email list to Discourse. So it would be a pretty seamless transition. Then the people who want to use the web UI, with its advanced features like syntax

Re: [julia-users] Re: ANN: A potential new Discourse-based Julia forum

My $0.02: I consider julia-users as a mailing-list. In general, my main communication is through emails. I write the posts to the mailing list using a webmail interface, but I use to read the posts of others from an email client or from mobile. Of course I can adapt myself and use another platform

Re: [julia-users] Re: ANN: A potential new Discourse-based Julia forum

Just to throw in my $0.02... I use gmail most of the time, and I have a few filters to auto-partition into a directory structure I like which combines github and google groups emails. If I could no longer do this I would be disappointed. On Tue, Jan 12, 2016 at 6:08 AM, Mauro wrote: > I second

Hmm, I didn't consider that. I *never* read the emails, instead using the email notifications as jumping-off points to go into the forum. I always thought it strange that people refer to posts as 'mails'. But, surely, plain text for code is *terrible*. Wrong or no indentation, no syntax highlig

Re: [julia-users] Re: ANN: A potential new Discourse-based Julia forum

I don't know about others, but for me it is hard to beat e-mail. Plain text is fine for code. The problem with various forums is that each community has a different one. I would prefer not to deal with N web interfaces, no matter how nice and featureful, instead of my nicely customized inbox in Em

On the Discourse admin panel is a one-click button to upgrade to the latest and to roll back an upgrade, similar to Wordpress. Behind the scenes, the Discourse software is just a stateless docker image living on the server which is swapped out during an upgrade. See https://meta.discourse.org/t/how

How much are the DigitalOcean instances? Your Discourse-based forum seemed so much better than using Google groups, it would be very nice to be able to move. On Monday, October 5, 2015 at 7:34:34 PM UTC-4, Jonathan Malmaud wrote: > > It just needs an inexpensive digitalocean instance to run; it d

It just needs an inexpensive digitalocean instance to run; it doesn't seem like a particularly big deal to me. It automatically backs up to S3 every night. On Mon, Oct 5, 2015 at 7:21 PM, Steven G. Johnson wrote: > The big disadvantage appears to be that we need to maintain our own > servers? T
