Thanks for the offer, but no thanks. My point is I don't like
using
email
for forum discussions. The only reason I'm using it here is that I'm
being
forced to because "Development Discussions", "KDE Discussions" and
"Packaging Discussions" aren't available on the Discourse Fedora
instance.
As I mentioned before, I don't like the idea of forum discussions
clogging
up my email. I like accessing Fedora Discussions on my phone using the
Discourse client. It's much easier to read threads for me and
understand
prior elements of the discussion on Discourse. Using mail, I have to
access the archives to read the full thread.
So everyone should stop doing what works for the because you don't like it?
Seems to me to be a bit weird that Fedora has some discussions on
Discourse
but refuses to allow other discussions and mandate those be done via a
mailing list - especially when Discourse allows a mailing list option.
Please try to understand that the mailing list option isn't an option because it is
not good enough.
Meanwhile what is left is the webUI. So we should all have to use that UI because that is
what works best for you?
Is that the central point of your argument?
I understand there isn't going to be 100% feature parity, but it should
be
good enough - and if it isn't we should be working with the Discourse
people to improve it rather than just using it as an excuse to not
moving
forward.
Before moving forward it is prudent to ensure that at least most of the group agree what
"forward" is.
It seems not everyone agrees that the direction you have chosen is actually forward.
