Is this possible with GitHub?
I am going to guess that GitHub assumes a stable internet connection to
participate in discussions. I'll double check this. You bring up a good
point.
Maybe the open source alternative, GitLab, offers a such feature.
Googling "gitlab offline" I get:
"Many of our customers do not have regular Internet access and many of
them, being highly regulated, cannot install local copies of GitLab to
be able to run against the provided API. [...] The work, published as
the gitlab-ci-yaml_lint gem, is my attempt at a start to solving the
issue."
This is not what I expected, but it confirms some people have troubles
working with online-only services.
We are currently evaluating Gitlab to improve our code review needs. I
will look into Gitlab as a discussion platform as well. Specifically how
it interacts with email.
Rebecca Cran also brought up that Phabricator allows discussions to be
interacted with via email. A quick search for Phabricator and
"Configuring Inbound Email" it seems that one can both receive and send
discussion messages if configured properly.
Rebecca, can you confirm this?
