Dear all, For 30 years, mailing lists have been of great help to open source communities, but they are not flawless and they lack of modern features expected by a lot of developers and users.
In recent years, a new generation of forum managers (Discourse <https://www.discourse.org/>, Flarum <https://flarum.org/>, ...) emerged. They have a nice and up-to-date web interface and they provide a better user experience thanks to a lot of features, like rich text formatting (Markdown), integrated search engine or ability to edit your posts to correct a mistake. For these reasons and many others, a lot of open source projects are shifting to forums. Here are some examples: * ITK: https://discourse.itk.org/ * Gitlab: https://forum.gitlab.com/ * Rust: https://users.rust-lang.org/ ; https://internals.rust-lang.org/ * Atom: https://discuss.atom.io/ * Docker: https://forums.docker.com/ * Mozilla: https://discourse.mozilla.org/ * ROS: https://discourse.ros.org/ * Orekit: https://forum.orekit.org/ CNES, funding the maintenance of the web services around OTB, and CS, maintaining those services, intend to deploy a Discourse instance to be used instead of the mailing lists. This forum will open in the coming weeks and the mailing lists will be closed in early 2019. We are convinced that you will appreciate the qualities of this tool and that, after a short period of adaptation, you will not feel any nostalgia for the mailing lists. Incidentally, this migration will allow us to leave a proprietary service - managed by a third party who can close it at any time - in favour of a self-hosted, free and open source software.
