[Koha-devel] Discourse forum / mailing list

[dcook at prosentient.com.au]

Hi folks,

 

I'm still working on using Discourse locally so I figured I'd share my
experiences.

 

Overall, I like the functionality well enough so far, although it can be
annoying to setup and develop against (ie for plugins). We should feel good
about koha-testing-docker, because it works very well out of the box whereas
Discourse's dev environment really expects you to be a solo programmer on a
Ubuntu laptop with no other development projects. It's a bit painful. They
also are so entrenched in their bespoke bash scripting around Docker that
they refuse to use Docker Compose. It's sad.

 

Anyway, I figure the Koha community would run up its own Discourse, but if
we wanted to be lazy we could just use this:
