[Koha-devel] Replacement of mailman (mailing lists)

[dcook at prosentient.com.au]

Did we have any further discussion about Discourse?

 

I’ve decided to use it for a different project, so I’ve looked at setting it up today. The installation instructions aren’t perfect, so I had to do some of my own troubleshooting, and they use custom scripts to orchestrate instead of using Docker Compose which makes me a bit uncomfortable (see https://meta.discourse.org/t/community-supported-official-docker-image/83768/18), but overall it went fairly smoothly. 

 

Actually going to be looking at migrating an old listserv over to it, so I can probably give more details as I do that.

Discourse sounds good to me too.. something to work on next cycle?

 

Do we have a host in mind?

I just checked on an instance and it's possible to watch a category. It 
would have the same effect as subscribing to a mailing list.

Also, it's possible if it's worth the work to import a mailing list.
https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-vs-email-mailing-lists/54298/1

see
=> How do I import my mailing list?

=> My organisation manages multiple mailing lists. Can they be imported 
incrementally?
