Hi Marco Thanks for the comment. I requested to have discussion categories feature enabled. Currently the categories are fixed to be the following: - Everything - General - Help - Ideas - Show and tell - Thanks - TIL (today I learned)
I think Github is also working on enabling customization for categories and we should have feature parity in terms of organizing threads by then. For now I will treat your comment as a "yes" to enable discussions and "not yet" for deprecating existing forum.
