It misses most of the features for which Discourse emerged in the first place. There are no categories, no tags, the searching tool is quite primitive and the quotation look is actually worse than in an email client.
Sorry but for me this is clearly a lesser experience than Discourse.

I wish it would have followed the proposal process so it was clear to everyone that a decision was being considered and this was our chance to offer input. FWIW, I am not ignoring this thread. At some point there was diminishing signal on the thread, and it felt like the category of opinions that had been voiced had been vocalized on the thread. Looping in swift-users into that thread would have been a good thing to do in hindsight so more people felt like they had a chance to participate. Based on what I am seeing in reaction to this decision, however, I’m not seeing much new signal. Just to add to this point — new insights on this topic are welcome, and will be paid attention to. The decision to change to a forum is because that was evaluated as being the best thing for the community, based on the range of opinions provided and the tradeoffs made. If there is something important that was missed, obviously that is not going to be ignored. We want to do the right thing. So far I still feel that moving to a forum software is the right choice, but I’d like to do that in a way that allows people to still participate effectively via email. Is there any way to have a trial run so we can evaluate the email experience of using the forum software before we make the final switch? I agree that this sounds like the right direction, but it’s hard to know what the email experience will really be like until we give it a try for a week or so. I need to formalize a plan, but yes I’d like to trial this somehow. Nate Cook created a staged installation of Discourse when the thread on swift-evolution was happening and there was some useful telemetry out of that experiment (such as how rich text email interacted with doing inline replies). Moving to Discourse (or some alternate forum software if we decide Discourse is not a fit) would be a staged thing. The main question to me is how do we do a meaningful trial without actually doing the real discussions in the forum (while the mailing lists are still running). _______________________________________________ swift-users mailing list swift-users@swift.org<mailto:swift-users@swift.org> https://lists.swift.org/mailman/listinfo/swift-users _______________________________________________ swift-users mailing list swift-users@swift.org<mailto:swift-users@swift.org> https://lists.swift.org/mailman/listinfo/swift-users _______________________________________________ swift-evolution mailing list swift-evolut...@swift.org<mailto:swift-evolut...@swift.org> https://lists.swift.org/mailman/listinfo/swift-evolution
