Despite my initial support for the move, I think there are some benefits to staying with
mailing lists than moving to Discourse. First, mailing lists have traditionally been the
de facto medium of communication on projects as a central box (even on your phone) where
you get notified of the events and actions you need to take regarding the projects
you're a member or fan of. Second, Discourse doesn't completely remove the need
for the mailing list, because you might not be perfect at regularly browsing Discourse,
which brings the need for mail alerts or summaries. That way, we would still be using the
mailing list!
With that being said, given some experience with another open source project's
Discourse page, I acknowledge that keeping track of magazine workflows could be easier on
Discourse. And there is good search capability too. So, maybe taiga and pagure could be
abandoned by moving to Discourse.
Let me know what you think and if I missed anything.

Agree, switch on Thurs. June 11, 2020
That's not a month. Let's evaluate the week of 13 July, so
that we
have a month of usage to work from.

Based on the above, I propose Thursday 16 July.
Agree, we need a full month of use
to know if this is good for the
Magazine
The question becomes:
who makes the decision, how, and based on what?
For who and how, I say the editorial board by simple majority vote.
I think the Editorial board would encompass a good cross section of the
writers as well so this makes sense.
Based on what? Um...stuff, I guess?
This is a good question,
what are the driving reasons, the impetus for
the change? We should be able to determine if the move was a relative
success or not, and for that we need to clearly define the reasons for
the move in the first place. Maybe I've missed where it was stated, but
it wouldn't hurt to provide a concise reason or set of reasons.
