I agree with Oscar. The Github discussions may be OK for developers, but
are not generic enough for end-user support. From participating in the
Sympy discussions, I too find that there is more discussion and more people
contributing in the Google group. Maybe Discourse would be better for
What about moving this sage-devel mailing list to github discussions? I
think this is orthogonal to handling the user support via gh discussions.
Btw, you one can customize the notifications to only include/exclude
discussions:
Personal feeling is that a lot of people who have Sage *questions* are less
likely to have GH accounts. I mean, some will. But a lot won't. So the

discussions with sympy from the end user point of view?

I just want to share my experience of this feature being used in the
SymPy GitHub repo because I personally think that enabling it was a
mistake.
Hi Sage Devs,
Any thoughts about enabling "Github Discussions" for SageMath on
Github now? The tab is already visible, but somebody has
to I think fully enable it and do some configuration.
