Re: [libreplanet-discuss] Modernizing the Libreplanet Community Infrastructure

Hey John!

1) The answer is no, I haven't, but if you knew about that, what prevents you 
from upgrading? (Not that I think it's any better than Discourse.)
2) I had a feeling it was for more than groups, but I have yet to see it used 
for anything else in a way that is (inarguably) successful. Regardless, my 
proposal is essentially to focus not only on internal collaboration but to 
become more of a public-facing resource for external visitors, such as 
educating the public about many of the otherwise opaque software freedom 
issues. Right now, it's mostly essays on gnu.org/fsf.org but the potential here 
is enormous.


Anyway, it looks like Mailman 3 has a beta web interface called Postorious, but 
I think it's safe to say it doesn't hold a candle to abilities and ease of use 
they've worked into Discourse.

A couple quick things:

1) have you looked at Mailman 3? Has web forum features.

2) mission of wiki is not just geographic groups. Maybe we need to make that 
clearer. It's also intended, and has been used for, a space to collaborate 
around issues and actions.
