I susbscribed. IMO it doesn't conflict to both have discussions on discourse and having a mailman mailing list.

Just personal preference (of myself and others). While I wish that mailman would have some improvements, overall it's suitable for our needs. It served us well. I probably just don't know what I am missing out, but I still don't see it. NetworkManager historically is both a GNOME and a freedesktop project (we use gitlab.freedesktop.org, while applet and VPN plugins are on gitlab.gnome.org). Having a freedesktop mailing list would fit the project too. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't know where else to migrate and would stronger consider discourse. On a side note, it's not a big problem... But I don't understand the urgency of sending an announcment and shutting the list down (basically) immediately afterwards. A longer grace period would have been better. I was ignorant of these plans.

Thank you. I probably will come back to you about this. As GNOME plans to leave the archive up as read-only, that's sufficient. But I am worried that on a few years that will be shut down and the history lost. If that ever happens, we should try to archive the history somewhere. Would it be possible to get a dump of the entire archive? Thomas ___ networkmanager-list mailing list networkmanager-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list

Hi, I think that "we" (the NetworkManager community) will try to get a mailman mailing list on freedesktop.org. There is already modemmanager-de...@lists.freedesktop.org, so this seems a good fit. Our git is also on gitlab.freedesktop.org. It's also unclear whether we should try to automatically subscribe the current list subscribers to the new place. I think we should do that. Opinions?

Hi Andrea, I already have an account at discourse.gnome.org and I'm happy to receive emails from either Discourse or Mailman. Now I have two questions. Maybe you could point me to the right answer: 1. How do I subscribe "networkmanager"? Is it by "Watched" or by "Tracked" tags under notifications? 2. How do I open a new topic from my MUA? Esp. what is the correct syntax to set e.g. tag "networkmanager"? Thanks in advance!

That’s exactly one of the features we looked into when we originally deployed Discourse back then. The workflow mainly is: You watch a category or a tag or both You receive mail sent to the registered mail address for your account, hit the reply button in your mail client and respond as you’d do with Mailman, the reply is then stored in Discourse, simple as that" So, I have to register for yet another system and faff about with its interface just to get all the email to the NetworkManager group sent to me? And this is somehow reliant on other people using the correct tags/categories?

Hi, I’ve received several questions during the past days which possibly makes sense to summarize in a single topic [1] which I can then reference. Hopefully this specific post will help anyone looking for the same set of answers as well. If any additional common question arises I’ll make sure to add it to this same topic in Discourse. Thanks and please let us know if you have any questions around Discourse or your onboarding process!
