Not long ago the Gnome Project decided to stop supporting a number of
mailing lists, including the list for Evolution, in favour of an
instance of the Discourse web forum. We were told that a forum could
provide everything a list provided, and you could even interact with it
via email, so clearly it was a Good Thing.

It shortly became clear that the user experience of interacting with
Discourse via email was significantly worse than a traditional mailing
list, so a bunch of us set up a new list
(evolution-us...@lists.osuosl.org) where we continue on our merry way.
The Discourse instance still exists (the two mechanisms are entirely
separate with no cross-posting between them), but traffic on the
mailing list is noticeably greater than on the forum, which I think
says something.
