I have seen some communities use a combination of Slack and Discourse. As you said,
Discourse is great in organizing and accessing posts. The current workflow for the
magazine seems a bit overkill to me, but with discourse, I think the stuff would be done
faster, as a central place to discuss the proposals and track the progress. - mehdi

someone who has used mailing lists very little (this is the only
mailing list I've ever used), getting on it was initially a fairly
confusing process itself. Switching to something else might attract more
people willing to contribute. I'd suggest taking a look at "Phabricator" as
a self-hosted open source solution for consideration but it might be an
overkill and would require more time to set up, test and adjust/configure
than the much better known tried-and-tested Discourse.

What if we moved to Discourse [1]?
We touched this during today's meeting [2] towards the end.
Right now we have various things in three different places:
1/ This mailing list for general discussion
2/ Pagure repository [3] for article proposals and discussion around those
3/ Taiga board [4] to track the editorial workflow
Discourse would replace this mailing list and the Pagure repository, so
we'd have one place to discuss anything. And unlike a mailing list, we
could link to individual threads easily, new members could join us and see
all the previous discussions, etc.
I especially like this for article proposals. More people would be able to
see them and comment on them, and after a proposal gets approved we could
easily link the thread from the Taiga card.
Back in 2017-1018, the Forman community did a similar move [5] [6] and
their engagement doubled. But it's a different community and a few years
back, so it doesn't promise anything to us. But I still find it
interesting.
What do people think?
Cheers,
Adam
