Just keep the discourse stuff for onboarding/mentoring/informal stuff and mailing list for "votes"/substantive decisions IMO. On Thu, 20 May 2021 at 08:46, Matthew Brett <matthew.brett@gmail.com> wrote:

to go there and interact with newcomers that's fine IMO, but I'd strongly prefer not to have more things/technologies/channels to monitor for decision making
Speaking as a dinosaur - like Matti - I personally prefer email, but I would say that, despite reservations, my experience with Discourse hasn't been too bad. You can ask it to send emails, so you don't have to monitor it separately. I have heard Eric L's comment from others, about greater traffic from Discourse than using email. When I went to check for one project, the traffic looked to be of reasonable quality.
