Hi everyone,
We had a chat Ralf, Stéfan and I about moving away from the mailing list.
The idea would be to move over Discourse under the umbrella of
https://discuss.scientific-python.org
Stéfan proposes to do the migration work and I can also provide some help if needed (the complete history would be imported). I also propose to help administrate/moderate this space.
As Serge expressed during the meetup, we should be careful when moving to Discourse as some people might be reluctant to come. Which would fragment the community. Hence, we should force the move by sunsetting the mail list.
On the same topic, I would discuss the possibility to use Slack (or another platform for real-time chat). This has proven to be helpful for NumPy and other projects and we should also see the benefits.
Hi Pamphile, Do you happen to have know if there might be any accessibilty issues with discourse, slack and the like? I have both accessibility in the traditional sense in mind, as well as things like governments that censor internet access. I have no idea about either of these things, and for all I know the alternatives might be perfect replacements, so this is just an aspect that should also be considered for such a switch :) András
Let us know what you think.
