I prefer the discuss forum over email for following reasons: 1. It is easier for newcomers. People can login using Facebook, Twitter or GitHub Id 2. The format is much more readable for people who search for something in a search engine and land on the page. 3. Markdown support makes it easier t

Very good points Indu. I also think that the discussion forum is definitely of big value and that we should keep it. But I also don't think it would hurt anybody is we open up a new channel of communication, considering that managing an email list doesn't cause any additional overhead. Indhu schr

Great points and feedback. I think everyone here wants the best for the project. We should definitely not shoot down pioneering contributions and be more inclusive with people that are actively contributing to the community with not just code. This should include code, documentation, website chang

I would propose the two following action points: * Resetting the list of committers to people that have contributed in the previous terms in the latest 6 months * Suspend veto rights temporarily and use simple majority for decisions that need a vote so we realign the project with the communit

Hi Sebastian. Thank you for your comment. That's why I said "I would propose", because I don't know if it's possible as my experience with Apache is limited to the MXNet project. How do you interpret this part?: "Since the appointed Project Management Committees have the power to create their own

Agree with Indu's points: email list usability and features seems inferior compared to the discussion forum, so I would suggest to keep things simple and stick with the forum. Hagay On Sat, Jun 16, 2018, 06:37 Timur Shenkao wrote: > user mail list > > Pros: > - Apache user mail list is indexed

I also agree with Indu's points. I feel like the mailing list is more for hackers. Typical MXNet users are machine learning scientists and not necessarily like discussing problems in a hacker's way. Since we already have a discussion forum, why should we create a new one and get users confused whe
