fwiw, I've not had any problems with it. assuming there isn't a problem for others, i'm inclined to say we move forward with it.
dave, perhaps you could submit a PR (master branch) to update the website to include a link to the channel? I'd add it to the Community navigation menu dropdown here: https://github.com/apache/tinkerpop/blob/master/docs/site/home/template/header-footer.html and to the "Contributing to Apache TinkerPop" section on item 1 of the home page ("Join the Gremlin-Users public mailing list and Discord"): https://github.com/apache/tinkerpop/blob/master/docs/site/home/index.html There might be other places too but those immediately came to mind. Perhaps for a while it could also be added to the home page (index.html) somewhere? a small banner at the top (below the navigation) of some sort to call attention to it? If we can get that PR merged in the next week that will allow the change to publish when florian completes the release.
