This is a subject that came up last night at dinner. Right now we've got
a couple of low traffic virtual communications spaces. This mailing
list, and IRC. Both are kind of small subsets of the folks we currently
have.
The mailing list used to be a lot more active. But that included folks
drifting way off topic and common civility. Both of which I think made
people wary of using this more. It's also a chunk of infrastructure that
needs to be maintained, including spam processing.
This is kind of an open discussion about what should we do with this
list. Is having an email discussion list still valuable? Should we
instead double down on IRC (which sees a bit more activity, but with a
smaller group of folks). Or should we look at a something more web based
like Slack/Gitter.im/Mattermost?
If you have an opinion now is the time to express it. We'll probably
make some decision by the end of the year here.
