As mentioned already: The most important thing IMHO is that the 20+ years of e-mails to the lists are available at *one* (not two) spots. This means that someone™ has to import all e-mails into a new solution, preserving threads and the like. If this can be done easily with Discourse, wny not. Another aspect: LilyPond is a GNU project; it would thus useful if gnu.org could set up a discourse instance. Werner
