Oh! I didn't see that. Thank you. I will look again.
Yeah I actually like many things about discourse. I also like many of the
low friction aspects of a mailing list. I am worried my email sounds too
negative. I should list positives like great markdown support and much
prettier and more legible emails. Discourse is phenomenal forum software. I
honestly hope they can really bridge the gap effortlessly to have as part
of their capabilities truly effortless implementation of a dev mailing list
with an optional forum view.
I'm sure I'll be using discourse to great effect (and it seems to be being
used). So I could be completly wrong about all my points. 🙂
