I have used Discourse and yes it does behave pretty much like a webforum from 90s. > >So much better than just getting the message directly into my chosen >mail client!

While swanky it really does nothing new but takes away accessibility since there will be a gazillion email notifications which in and of themselves are useless. With a mailing list I can just reply directly instead of having to switch to a different interface. This just adds a step and forces me to use a particular client. I realized now that this mail sounds really negative. To add nuance: great suggestion and I'm all for changing things if the new things solves the problem better than the old things. Discourse however, doesn't seem to do that. > > >_______________________________________________ >devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org >To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org >Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html >List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines >List Archives: >https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
