There is a question here that has not really been addressed in the Welcome To Discourse page:
 https://discourse.vtk.org/t/welcome-to-discourse/8


  *   Why should they come here?

What is the motivation for the switch?

If this will make it easier to provide support, that's a good reason. A good transition strategy might be to reply to questions that are asked on the mailing list in Discourse, and then reply to the mailing list with the link.

Another transition strategy would be to post the Topics Titles active for the past week to get people to go to Discourse if they are interested in that topic.

Back to lurking...
