My position hasn't really changed much but I spoke to Apache infra and here is the overall summary:
* Apache infra don't have a huge appetite for hosting an Apache internal copy of Discourse. They could set us up a VM and we could host it ourselves but they wouldn't encourage it since often when projects do this they underestimate the resources required to maintain and keep it up to date and they end up with lots of unmaintained services lying around hardly being used. * They'd encourage us to use Pony Mail instead of nabble as something to encourage people to use which is backed by the Apache mailing lists: https://lists.apache.org/list.html?d...@groovy.apache.org * They'd happily accept pull requests/patches to get things like pretty code formatting happening within Pony Mail. * They'd recommend using the external hosting service just for the users list. Most of our "conduct all official business" on the mailing lists obligations are with respect to the dev list. Wrt the users list, if we conduct a poll or something like that we'd need to summarise the results back in the users list, similarly if people start posting patches into the forum we should encourage them to go via other channels, PRs, pony mail, the Apache users mailing list directly etc. So, it get's back to whether we can support yet another channel. I am happy to give it a try but already find myself stretched across the existing channels, so can't promise super fast feedback in such a forum. Cheers, Paul.
