Hi,

Just 2 points, one I think is important for commops and the only reason I bring it up is to be helpful there, the other is re: ML subs.

Right so the first thing is, you measured commops activity on discourse for oct, but what about the ML activity? You got 9 participants and iirc 22 threads in Oct on the ML. Are all of those 9 ML participants from Oct also on discourse? You should make sure before switching off the ML.

The other thing is, see quote below... can someone not sign up for a discourse account and subscribe to all threads and use a mailing list address? Eg if I wanted to keep following commops via ML, could we keep the ML on and just subscribe it to commops on discourse? 

At the very least itd be a nice transition thing to do as Im sure theres still docs and wikis and stuff floating out there that point to the ML. Could mark it read only in the subj line.

For the mailing list functionality, it does not forward messages (e.g.
to a list). A user can configure Discourse to subscribe to all
discussions or certain categories. If they choose, they can only
interact with the site from an email client without visiting the site in
a browser. I use my existing email filters for Discourse in the same way
I use them for mailing lists today.
