Is there a good central thread for discussing the move to Discourse that I've missed out on? I did a quick search, and it seems to come up in different threads, but I didn't see a pinned topic or thread that serves as a hub for the conversation.
Mark S. asked a couple of good questions: > First, someone is paying for Discourse, right? It's not free like GG. > Is that sustainable, or will we back at GG in 2 or 3 years? *Is* that the case? I'd thought Discourse was a free, open-source platform — though someone is surely paying to host TiddlyWiki.org, where it's running. That domain's been around a long time, and I always suspected it was Jeremy's, but maybe not. Do we know the identity of our benefactor on that domain? That may go a long way toward reassuring people of the platform's long-term availability and stability. > Second, is the search better on Discourse? Because that was > the main concern about GG -- things become lost in the mist of > time (the mist of time being more than two weeks ago). Despite hearing people complain about the search on Google Groups, I've never noticed problems with it myself. Maybe that's just a function of not knowing what search results you *aren't* getting back. (For example, it would be a real laugh if there's a thread called "Discussing a Move to Discourse" that I completely missed when searched just now.) Not to be too much of a naysayer on Google Groups, I think strikke...@gmail.com is right to bring up the concern: > we do not know if GG exist i 2 or 3 years Despite its long life, Groups bears a lot of similarity to other marginal offerings by Google that have been popular with their users (think Reader, Wave, or G+) but proved less than stellar at the data-mining Google relies on them for. I've always found it to be an unstable platform for long-term continuity. One exciting thing about Discourse (from what I've read in the last hour) is this notion of being able to archive our Groups-based content over there so that the history of this community could be preserved moving forward. There are tons of great resources in this group and the dev group I'd hate to see lost to the winds of time. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
