So, yeah, that's a thing: we currently have that feature turned off,
because
I'm worried about spam. So you can reply to threads, but not start them.
Matt, would probably be a good idea to turn that on so people could try it
out.
People can also try it out at the following sites:
discourse.mozilla.org
meta.discourse.org
There are countless others, just do a search.
Discourse is *definitely* not a smooth, drop-in mailing list
replacement
like Hyperkitty is.
Of course it's not identical to a what we have now... that is kind of the
point. However, from what
I have seen the mailing list mode is a good compromise for those who want
to continue that mode
of communication.
I would submit bug reports if I had a problem with the features or
capabilities of mailing list mode -
however, for me it works perfectly. I would encourage those who aren't
happy with it to take a few
moments to follow up with the discourse people to either file a bug or
request an enhancement. It
is to everyone's best interest to help to improve the product.
