Post about discussion.fp.o / discourse

[Ryan Lerch]

Just realised that we never did a post about the discourse instance,
discussion.fedoraproject.org on the magazine.

Does anyone know the status of this app? is it ready to be promoted on the
Magazine?

cheers,

In support, there is ongoing work to include a bookmark in the
fedora-bookmarks package¹. Once updated², the site is immediately more
visible to Firefox users on new installs of Fedora.

In opposition, it is unclear how the Discourse moderation strategy may
need to scale if the community suddenly grows in users.

Also, investigating something like this might also be interesting:

Basically, would move all the comments from the magazine, into discourse
threads...

not sure how i feel about that, but could be interesting to consider.
