All, It's been a while since I had last proposed adopting and trying the Github Discussions feature for our users community. Since then, the ASF infra seems to have enabled integration and allowing Discussions integrated with mailing lists: https://github.com/search?q=.asf.yaml+discussions&type=code
Following discussions with both technical and non-technical users from the CCC, I believe we should try this out and use it for users to discuss their ideas, questions, and problems, all that traditionally has happened on the users@ ML; while been integrating such discussions on the users@ ML. The Discussions platform could be used by developers too to get feedback from users. That said, we MUST continue to use our mailing lists for any project governance related matters such as releases related discussions, releases voting, and any form of consensus and decision making. I've proposed a PR for this here where the discussions feature is tied to users@ ML: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/8274/files Thoughts and feedback? Regards.
