So if that's lost in the migration, perhaps not much is lost.
ask.sagemath.org receives questions and answers on a regular basis and still today. Not later than last week, a user was happy for my answer : https://ask.sagemath.org/question/77821/stanley-reisner-ideal-from-polytope/. Also, I would say it is mainly a community of *users* of SageMath. Questions are asked by users. But, also, the answers are given mostly by users that are no so much developers. [...] I think moving ask to some website made for developers (e.g. Github Discussion?) is very bad idea, because it will kill this community of users which is still alive today. I share the same skepticism about using GitHub Discussions. But Discourse would be a direct replacement for AskBot; it is widely used with the same user-facing, not developer-centric, role. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
