We don't have admin access to the python.org lists, so this is a bit of a problem. We have never had a spam problem, so we can ask to block this user first. If it continues to happen, we may be able to moderate new subscriber emails, but we do need to ask for permissions first and I'm not sure we'll get them.
A better solution longer term is migrating to Discourse, which has far better moderation tools than Mailman and is also more approachable for people not used to mailing lists (which is most newcomers to open source). Migrating is a bit of a pain, but with the new CZI grant having a focus on improving the contributor experience, we should be able to do this.
I would like to offer the use of https://discuss.scientific-python.org. I would be happy to handle
I am +0.8 for building up a community forum there, for better or worse, a large chunk of the traffic here is just an announcement/formal list these days. It would be nice to have a community forum. +0.8 just because I am not sure I want to be pinned down on moderation.
email list migration, and have created the following two categories
Personally, I currently lean to +0 if we aim for a larger community forum, otherwise -0. I am not sure that moving the list in its current form/volume is worth annoying those who prefer mail. But, I also think the creation of a user forum can be distinct from moving the "formal" uses of this mailing list – at least for a while.
for NumPy discussion:
User discussion: https://discuss.scientific-python.org/c/user/numpy < https://discuss.scientific-python.org/c/user/numpy/19> Contributor discussion: https://discuss.scientific-python.org/c/contributor/numpy < https://discuss.scientific-python.org/c/contributor/numpy/18>
We're happy to support this as part of the Scientific Python
I do like is the idea of having a cross-project platform (both for devs and users/support). Not sure how well discourse will scale, if e.g. scipy also moved into one forum. But the tags and categories may have a lot of potential! If we have a plan e.g. to also move SciPy-dev to the same place, there could be a very concrete benefit of allowing easier reach across projects. (Even NumPy is pretty diverse in topics. Discussions in random numbers, fft, or linalg may find a lot of interest in SciPy.) Cheers, Sebastian
ecosystem grant, and will give admin rights to anyone on the NumPy developer team who wants to help manage / moderate discussions.
Of course, we can also just delete these if the team prefers to have their discussions somewhere else. But I think there is a benefit to bringing community discussions together in one place.
