Actually, I think that just creating a new discourse instance for
discussions keeping the mailing
lists around would be a good solution. You wouldn't have to worry about
registration. People who wanted
to use it or try it out could do that themselves - and you wouldn't have to
be concerned about moving archives,
etc. You could then just let normal attrition handle it.
Sure, but it might be not a great experience if not enough people watch
both or move to discourse. ie, people asking questions there or starting
discussions and no one answering them.
So, if people want to discuss in discourse, great, but I don't think we
should create a vast sea of empty topics until/unless people are needing
them.
