I agree.
While I appreciate the experimentation, I hope discourse can get to a point
where I can forget it's even a forum. Whereby everything can just truly
feel like a native mailing list with a great deal less friction, but it's
not there yet.
Here's some of the missing features:
- a signup process that's more an email subscription (just paste in an
email address) without having to create any kind of forum account or
profile.
- the ability to reply to someone individually to their email address. The
ability for others to email me directly without discourses PM feature.
- It needs the ability to subscribe per topic. Things are a bit noisy right
now (ie I'm not interested in log stash)
- eliminate "noreply" in the email notifications. I don't feel like I
should participate via email when I see this. Give it a friendly name.
Right now use via email feels second class. But I think it's the most
important thing. I'm likely to scan my low priority inbox where mailing
list emails are sent. I'm going to struggle to remember to check in on and
participate in a forum to help folks. It's another place to go and all my
other OSS mailing lists come to my email and I can work with them
seemlessly. So I'm likely to forget to check or possibly not want to bother
with elastic which uses a different system.
Yes, I do get the notifications, but it doesn't quite feel the same as a
mailing list for the reasons above. It feels like a notification from
another system.
Anyway long and frank email. Forgive the bluntness. I just wanted to
express hopefully useful feedback. I do appreciate the thoughtfulness
here. I know elastic and discourse folks are very smart. Email truly can
become a first class experience and keep some of the great things about
discourse.
Cheers!
Doug
