[kwlug-disc] Would we want to aim for something like a Discourse.org site for KWLUG?

[Doug Moen]

I personally prefer a mailing list, because right now, all of my "social
media feeds" (including KWLUG) are delivered via email, and go into a
single inbox, which I can read and administer using a single user
interface. I don't want to go to a different website to read forum posts
for each forum that I participate in.
I investigated Discourse earlier this year. At that time, I felt that
the email integration provided a worse user experience than a mailing
list, for people like me who prefer to interact via email. Also, it
appeared that maintaining a discourse server would be a significant
volunteer commitment, as I saw forum comments about the complexity of
maintaining a discourse server.
I didn't make notes about why I thought the email integration is poor.
Chamunks mentioned that as a feature. I'll have to reconstruct what my
objections were.
