[$] Debian discusses Discourse
Much of the free software we run every day was developed over email, andthe developers of that software, who may have been using email for decades,tend to be somewhat attached to it. The newer generation of developersthat came later, though, has proved remarkably resistant to the charms ofemail-based communication. That has led to an ongoing push to replaceemail with other forms of communication; often the "other form" of choiceis a web-based system called Discourse. Moving to Discourse tendsto be controversial; LWN covered relateddiscussions in the Fedora and Python projects in 2018. Now it isDebian's turn to confront this question.
