Re: [Paraview] Idea: move from mailing lists to discourse
I think that the forum is the great idea (it has been already was proposed earlier on this list). IMHO, forum mode is more friendly and useble for most users. 2018-03-16 18:55 GMT+03:00 Cory Quammen : > I have collected some data on the impact of moving to Discourse for both > the ITK and Slicer communities.

Re: [Paraview] Idea: move from mailing lists to discourse
I have collected some data on the impact of moving to Discourse for both the ITK and Slicer communities. Using average monthly posts as a proxy for community engagement, the data suggests the move has been very positive for increasing engagement: For ITK, monthly messages to the itk-users and itk-developers [1] list averaged 148 while on Discourse the average has been 297. For Slicer, monthly messages to the slicer-users and slicer-developers list averaged 274 while on Discourse the average has been 639. It looks like activity has doubled or more for both projects, a positive sign for both communities. Thanks, Cory [1] Messages to the ITK "community" mailing list have been excluded as most are copied to the itk-users or itk-developers list. I have not accounted for double counting where messages are sent to both users and developers lists.

Re: [Paraview] Idea: move from mailing lists to discourse
+1 Discourse includes a mailing list mode that, with some caveats, behaves like the current mailing list if you prefer that mode. The integrated search feature is nice to have - I usually resort to searching the ParaView mailing list in markmail's archive, which usually works, but an additional step that wouldn't be needed with an integrated search. Having different categories for beginners, developers, announcements, etc. would be great. You can watch or unwatch different categories, tag posts with keywords, and bookmark certain posts you'd like to revisit. It just seems great all around.

[Paraview] Idea: move from mailing lists to discourse
Folks, I know ITK community have moved on to discourse (https://discourse.itk.org/) and from what I've heard, the experience has been great. Is it time for ParaView mailing lists to move to Discourse as well? What are people's feelings about it?
