--001a1134ca9cd037d50513c37d03 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 I'm in the Ruby Rogues "Parley" discussion group, and a couple of years ago they switched from Google Groups to Discourse. There was a heated debate at the time. Some people hated Google Groups because it wasn't open source and Google was not responsive in fixing bugs. Others said that Discourse was not good on mobile phones. Whether or not using it with email would really be convenient was questioned. I can't speak for the others, but I stopped participating -- I don't remember the details, but either email did not work correctly or for some reason I did not get notifications; and I never seem to get around to logging in. If I get a chance I'll post a message there asking for a retrospective on that decision. - Keith On Wed, Apr 15, 2015 at 3:18 AM, Karol Bucek <[email protected]> wrote: > > Discourse should be able to act like a plain-old mailing list: > https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/MAILING-LIST-SETUP.md > > ... than of course I do not have any experience using it that way, just > wanted to address the same kind of complains about it. > groups is fine esp. if "quick" migration is possible. > > K. > > > > On Wed, Apr 15, 2015 at 6:04 AM, christian <[email protected]> wrote: > >> google groups would be OK to me or anything which works fine as "email" >> >> On Wed, Apr 15, 2015 at 3:14 AM, Tim Uckun <[email protected]> wrote: >> >>> FWIW I find the discourse interface to be too distracting and busy.
