Project rename to "GTK"

Hi all; tl;dr: GTK is GTK, not GTK+. The documentation has been updated, and the pkg-config file for the future 4.0 major release is now called "gtk4" over the years, we had discussions about removing the "+" from the project name. The "plus" was added to "GTK" once it was moved out of the GIMP s

Moving from mailing lists to Discourse

To introduce myself, I only am using Gtk for 3 years, but really like the infrastructure / people / open source surrounding Gtk. I am sometimes seen as 'theGtknerd'. On 02/06/2019 06:46 AM, Emmanuele Bassi via gtk-devel-list wrote: The GTK project would have various sub-topics, mostly arou

Re: Moving from mailing lists to Discourse

Emmaneule, at ardour.org, we recently switched from using Drupal forums to Discourse. The results have been delightful. We managed to get single sign on integration with our existing site working, which was important for us, but probably not so much for a GTK Discourse. More notably, once you figu

More information on Discourse: - About: https://www.discourse.org/about - Features: https://www.discourse.org/features Discourse is a forum software that has multiple ways to access it: web, native apps, and email. It's not a mailing list software with a web frontend. The interesting (to me)

Re: Moving from mailing lists to Discourse

As a side note, Python has also opened a Discourse instance (in addition to their Zulip experiment), and the results have pretty much been positive. I've also been on Fedora's for quite some time, and it's great. On Wed, Feb 6, 2019 at 5:46 AM Emmanuele Bassi via gtk-devel-list < gtk-devel-list@gn

Re: Moving from mailing lists to Discourse

We already looked at Hyperkitty, and found it fairly limited in functionality. Avoiding Hyperkitty is what led us to Discourse in the first place. Can you link that discussion please? I'm interested what newcomers want to do such that Hyperkitty doesn't let. Negatives of Discourse: loads slower,
