I guess that we are going to use https://delvingbitcoin.org for the
first part of the 2024 and then revisit it if needed, right?

ofc, my point was not to use a tool that lives 4ever but to use a
format that gives
the possibility of storing the information somewhere
in a single format where future people can access our conversion.

e.g: The Linux kernel does something with https://lore.kernel.org and
I can read the email that Rusty sent in 2001
https://lore.kernel.org/all/m14fHjL-001PKjC@mozart/

What I do not understand is if we choose to delvingbitcoin (that looks
like working pretty well with email) we will be able to
migrate to another service by bringing the conversation with us?

Looks like that's missing images unfortunately, which are being frequently
used. Do you know of a way to fix that?

It also lacks authentication of course. But that's probably an essentially
unsolvable problem with the tech available to us.

FWIW, I made an account today, activated email mode, and confirmed I can get
the emails np: https://delvingbitcoin.org/t/this-is-a-shitpost-thread/249/2.

AJ says he disabled it, but I think he just disabled the ability to _send_
emails into and have them be picked up.

I found a better resource re how to use Discourse _purely_ via email from
Mozilla's instance:
https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/how-do-i-use-discourse-via-email/15279.  You
can even just send an email to create topics as well.

Initially I was worried that I wouldn't to get email notifications from
_just_ the lightning-dev sub-forum, but from the link above, you can filter
based on the headers they set in the email (filter out for just the forum
you care about).

If AJ doesn't want to enable inbound mail, then we can make our own
instance for lightning-dev.

Re archiving: today anyone can start to get an archive of the entire forum
by signing up for the mailing list mode. James OB has also created an
external tool that'll let Chroniclers archive the existing forum, or any new
one: https://github.com/jamesob/discourse-archive.

Who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯? The Bitcoin mailing list started on Sourceforge, then
moved between another instance before finding its home today on the Linux
foundation mailing lists. The developer base is what matters, not
where the forum we all use to coordinate is hosted.

Re: [Lightning-dev] Mailing List Future

A problem that I see with http://delvingbitcoin.org/ is what happens
10 years from now?

I am more in favour of keeping the ML (and I can host it because I
have a couple of projects that need an ML too) because
10 years from now we are sure that the mail is still alive.

In addition, I was going to try https://lists.sr.ht as a list, maybe
we can use it as a backup list? like an archive-ln-list or something?

However, I am not a blocker for people who want to use
http://delvingbitcoin.org/
it is accessible enough also for screen readers

You mean archiving of discourse on delvingbitcoin.org?

I think that's a serious problem if there's no good way to mirror
delvingbitcoin.org. It is very easy to archive email lists, and anyone can do
it (I'm archiving lightning-dev, bitcoin-dev myself, among others). Also, email
list archives naturally lead themselves to decent authentication, both via PGP
and more commonly, DMIK, making archives authenticatable. I don't see any way
that delvingbitcoin.org could ever replicate that beyond mere timestamps.

I'll be the first to say that timestamping is pretty weak security. Better than
nothing. But they aren't good.

Re: [Lightning-dev] Mailing List Future

2023-11-30 Thread Olaoluwa Osuntokun
Hi y'all,

Re Google Groups:

It appears that one can join a Google Group without a _gmail_ account by
sending a special subscribe email to a certain Google Groups endpoint:
https://webapps.stackexchange.com/a/126053. FWIW, this won't let you use the
web UI directly (useful for searching, the archive, etc).

If you want to be able to use the web UI, and don't have a gmail account,
then you can associate a Google Account with that gmail account. This'll let
you use the UI, but not require you to actually use gmail.

It looks like there's a related option in Groups.io: https://groups.io/.
Haven't used it myself, but it advertises a migration path from Mailman
(which I think is what we use rn under the covers?). At a glance, it has a
web UI, but email is still a first-class citizen:
https://groups.io/static/why.

Re the options:

I personally favor the Discourse option, as you get nice rendering for
images and LaTeX, tags, categories, etc: https://discourse.org/features.

It can also be run in email list mode, which'll allow one to use it as a
regular email list, and never actually visit the website:

Hey Matt,

That sounds good to me! Let's settle that during the next spec meeting.
Thank you for the option of hosting a mailing list instance, I'd be happy
to moderate it to share some of the burden.

[Lightning-dev] Mailing List Future

2023-11-26 Thread Matt Corallo
During the last meeting it came up that the mailing list here will likely shut down somewhere around 
the end of the year. We listed basically the following options for future discussion forums:


* google groups as a mailing list hoster. One question was whether its friendly to subscribing 
without a gmail account, which may be limiting to some.
* github discussions on the lightning org. One question is whether the moderation tools here are 
sufficient.
* Someone (probably me) host a mailman instance and we use another mailing list. I dug into this a 
bit and am happy to do this, on the one condition that the ML remains fully moderated, though this 
doens't seem like a substantial burden today. One question is if spam-foldering will be an issue, 
but with full moderation I'm pretty confident this will be tolerable, at least for those with email 
hosted anywhere but Microsoft lol.
* A discourse instance (either we host one or we use delvingbitcoin, which AJ hosts and has 
previously offered to set up a lightning section on).


There was some loose discussion, but I'm not sure there's going to be a clear conclusion. Thus, I 
think we should simply vote at the next meeting after a time-boxed minute or two discussion. If 
anyone has any thoughts or would like to have their voice heard, they can join the meeting in a week 
and a day or can respond here and I'll do my best to repeat the views expressed on the call.
