Hi,
Follow-up of the previous "Can we choose between mailing list and discuss.python.org?" thread.
Python isn't the first project who "experimented" Discourse to replace mailing lists. It seems like Fedora and OpenMandriva are coming back to mailing lists, at least for "development discussions":
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/council-discuss@lists.fedorapr...
It sounds like their overall team is much larger than ours based on the tone of that email (is that true?). We have also talked about having both Discourse and python-committers for announcements which would partially alleviate some of their concerns.
I also think it's telling that their decision to do this was done on IRC which is not a primary communication platform for all of us and suggests that it's possible the desires/needs/expectations of those participating are different.
well, #python-dev is another topic. It now gets spammed by many bots, and human chats are lost in the noise. That used to be better.
