Foundation members,
I know that this has been coming for a while but as a former contributor
who generally just wants to keep tabs on the major changes and
announcements, this particular change will mean that I probably don't keep
tabs on anything. There's no obvious replacement on 'discourse.gnome.org'.
The closest I can see is a 'community' category which is entirely too
broad. Entering the 'foundation-announce' tag, which is how I interpreted
the information below, yields nothing. Given the immense talents involved
with Gnome, I'm sad that no one came up with a better solution than simply
dropping foundation-announce.
