I'm not so sure. I think Discourse works well for team discussion, but we don't do a lot of that here. The list here is generally used for announcing information/opportunities for newcomers. Most of our discussion happens on Pagure tickets. Do we want absolute newcomers to go to Discussion.fp.o? Even with categories, Discourse doesn't have the clear boundaries that mailing lists do. Muting categories to opt-out is the opposite of explicitly subscribing to mailing lists. So, there's so much happening there---do we want newcomers to dive right in? I think we currently try to prevent this in the Welcome-to-Fedora system. We first get newcomers to learn the high level bits on Fedora and only when they're comfortable enough do we direct them to teams and tasks. Here's an example ticket: https://pagure.io/fedora-join/Welcome-to-Fedora/issue/76 (On a related note, the magazine, as a public facing official Fedora platform, is obviously very attractive to new contributors. It works as an excellent contribution gateway but do we have some info on whether magazine contributors stick around and get involved in other regular Fedora community development related activities: technical or otherwise?) -- Thanks, Regards, Ankur Sinha "FranciscoD" (He / Him / His) | https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha Time zone: Europe/London
