Hi Richard, there's been lots of discussion about that in the past. You can check out https://discuss.python.org, which is the current most popular idea about an alternative. It has not been decided if the mailing lists will be dropped or not though, as far as I know. Lys On Thu, Mar 28, 2019 at 4:30 PM Richard Whitehead < richard.whitehead@ieee.org> wrote:
Chris,
As a new member to this list, I can tell you that searching for relevant old content was effectively impossible, so I'm all for some way of doing that.
Please can I make a more radical suggestion, though: Drop the mailing list. How about a GitHub repo - a specific one (with no code), specifically for early ideas? Then, if an idea was accepted and turned into an issue to be implemented, it could link back to that original discussion. GitHub is easily searchable. It can email you if someone comments on an issue you have raised, etc.
An alternative might be a StackOverflow section, but that wouldn't provide such tight integration in the case of an issue being raised.
The new work you're doing would be a good way to populate the repo with its initial content.
Richard
