My $0.02. I read this as email using gnus, after sorting based on List-Id:, which gives me threading and scoring and reading mail without a mouse. I would find a move to anything forum-like appalling. I've long been bothered by github pretending to have full project hosting and not having mailinglists. If there was someting forum-like, I might pay attention some, but I would probably stop trying to help people. I know I'm not typical :-) I am also not a fan of requiring people to sign up with github to participate in discussions. The mailing list is misconfgured and puts in Reply-To: weewx-user@googlegroups.com so that the "reply" action in one's Mail User Agent, defined to reply to the sender, composes a reply to the list. This is distressingly common these days. It might make sense to migrate the list to groups.io. Yes, you have to sort of sign up with them, but they are smaller and that seems less bothersome than github and certainly less bothersome than google, although one can (and I do) subscribe to google groups without an account. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
