We have a request [1] to enable GitHub discussions for DataFusion. Personally, I am in favor of doing this for DataFusion as well as arrow-rs. We need to file an infra ticket to get this enabled and have to provide a link to "consensus discussion thread" [2] so I would like to gather opinions here prior to hopefully initiating a vote on this.
I am in favor of keeping discussions separate from issues because: 1. I believe that it makes It is less intimidating for users to ask questions 2. It is easier for part-time contributors to keep an eye on discussions than to monitor the issues which are likely always going to be higher volume Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks, Andy.
