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.
