[Koha-devel] Mailman thoughts. Switching to discourse ?

[Barton Chittenden]

I'm in much the same boat as Mirko -- the mailing list fits my existing
workflow.

Discourse, to my mind, fills a niche between IRC and a mailing list. I
wouldn't want to try to replace either of those with Discourse, but I think
that it might be helpful for certain kinds of discussion like RFCs or Wiki
development where we need better threading than is available on IRC, but a
more robust back-and-forth than we get on the mailing list. If we could
embed discourse on the wiki, I think that could be a win.
