I cannot *ever* recommend, in good conscious, moving to Discourse for Fedora development discussions.
However, I think it's fantastic for user support, as those are much more context free, incidental, and so on. I've wished for a long time
Yeah, I'm not suggesting moving all development discussion there, although I think there are people who *do* want to do development discussion that way, and I wouldn't want to _block_ that.
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.
