Do not misunderstand me, I don't mind trying out Discourse for certain types of conversations if we want to, and clearly some communities in Fedora do. But I feel like we've done a bad job with giving HyperKitty a fair shake. The same thing happened with Pagure too, but someone had the wherewithal to push everything forward enough to make it a success, and even now I'll say that Pagure is a nice environment. Yeah, Pagure is still missing things I wish it had, but it's evolving and growing. It took a few years, but it happened. I know that the big promotion push for HyperKitty was supposed to come with Hubs, but somehow that project died before it could go anywhere, so... I'm happy to help with infra related stuff, but I'm just not equipped to do so. Only a few people are. :( > The rest of everything — development resources, infrastructure, whether > there is widespread adoption — that's not something arguing over will > change.

We just keep hacking around it over and over. I don't like saying this, but what it comes down to is that our relationship with RHEL has evolved into a one-sided affair. I wish someone who is empowered to do something about it would, but the rest of us can't. Frankly, I suspect you're the only person who could maybe do anything about it, and I'm not certain you could do anything about it. > But the comments from several people implying some sort of fait accompli > here, that some backroom decision has been made, that we're somehow trying > to destroy communication.... seriously? > I'm not talking about you in the Fedora sense.
