Open a JIRA ticket with them; they are the gatekeepers. You *also* need a contact on the GitHub side afaict. I’m happy to make an introduction.

You may have already seen us move a few Issues over to Discussions, where they now belong. We're hoping that this gives people a friendlier way to build community around CouchDB, one that doesn't require mailing list membership or joining a possibly-intimidating Slack channel. Please feel free to use the Discussions to ask for help with CouchDB, share ideas, show us what you've done with CouchDB, offer thanks to the team, or post things you learned and want to share with others. One key feature is that we hope to give more recognition and affordance to our non-committer contributors through the Discussions platform. Stay tuned for more info. As more Discussions features become available, we'll make use of them to customize our space there, including linking to our project "bylaws"/rules and code of conduct. Two caveats: Right now, there is no webhook availability for Discussions, which means we can't mirror activity there to our user@ mailing lists. We've been told this will arrive around the time Discussions leaves private beta. The other: Please remember that all discussion of project *direction* and *decision making* must occur on the dev@ mailing list. It's fine to link to threads in Discussions to help start the decision making process, just the same as we do with Slack, Stack Overflow, etc. today. I hope this comes as welcome news to everyone. I'm pretty excited about it! Special thanks to Jan Lehnardt, who helped get this enabled for us, and Garren Smith, who started the discussion months ago about moving out of the twentieth century for community building. -Joan "I'm a woman.

Re: Announcing GitHub Discussions for Apache CouchDB [Beta]
Hi Piotr, We learned of the feature based on friends who are testing the feature in private beta, in places like the JavaScript React community: https://github.com/vercel/next.js/discussions That page shows some of the upcoming features in Discussions, currently hard coded for that community. You'll have to talk to ASF Infrastructure if you want to experiment with this feature. Open a JIRA ticket with them; they are the gatekeepers. -Joan "now in the correct Channel" Touzet On 2020-06-09 5:22 p.m., Piotr Zarzycki wrote: Hi Guys, I'm PMC in a different Apache project and I was wondering - what required actually to switch ON Discussion on GH?

Hi Guys, I'm PMC in a different Apache project and I was wondering - what required actually to switch ON Discussion on GH? How idea started?
