[Pulp-list] [Pulp-dev] Github Discussions

Tue Aug 24 06:01:12 UTC 2021

Will it still be possible to read old discussion threads?

If no, I would like it if this one could be migrated (for the conclusions reached in the thread):

If no one objects, I will be retiring Pulp's Github Discussions by September 1st. It seems like the options we are considering going forward are either staying on the mailing lists or moving to Discourse.

If you need something migrated over to Discourse from Github Discussions, please let me know.

Hi all,

Based on your feedback, we now have a Pulp Community Discourse: https://discourse.pulpproject.org/

This is still a continuation of our evaluation of whether to move away from the mailing list as a primary communication method. We need you to tell us if this is helpful.

We will wrap up any discussions that remain open on our GitHub Discussions page and migrate any open discussions.

I'm getting everything ready. Please feel free to make suggestions.

Please join us over on Discourse!

Melanie

Having been an admin on the Foreman Community Discourse for over a year, I am +1 to a using Discourse for community conversations.
Greg Sutcliffe has data to prove the increase in community engagement after the move.

I was rather surprised but Discourse did approve us for a free plan. The instance has been set up at https://pulp.discourse.group/. Feel free to try it out and experiment with it.

However, the main limitation I see is the 50k pageviews per month limit. For reference, community.theforeman.org<http://community.theforeman.org> gets about 160-220k pageviews per month. So I think this would end up being a problem. I also checked with OSCI though and they apparently have experience with setting up Discourse instances for other open source communities. So I think they might be willing to set up a Discourse instance for us. I'm going to follow up and confirm.

If we go this route, then we can also add the calendar plugin which would give us a public calendar like foreman has:

https://community.theforeman.org/c/events/13/l/calendar

I'm imagining we can use this to list events that are open to the public like triage/open floor and perhaps plugin team meetings.

The more I use Discourse, the more I feel like it ticks all the boxes from granular notifications (weekly digests, ability to follow/unfollow categories, etc) to a mailing list mode users can enable to SSO integration with services like Github.

But I agree that Github Discussions is not so great if users want to periodically monitor news and discussions for a project like Pulp. I wonder perhaps if Discourse[0] would be a better fit (see Foreman's use of discourse as an example[1]). It provides a mailing list mode that users can enable if they want to interact solely via email. And also, it also offers more granular control of notifications and auth with services like Github.

The Fedora mailing list system (HyperKitty) actually manages to strike
a good balance here. You can sign in with OIDC/Social Login with
Fedora, Google, etc. and post to a list and only be subscribed to that
thread. Or you can subscribe to the whole list and do things like we
do now.

It has some limitations (not sure if they'd be an issue for us?) but I've submitted an application to see if we qualify. I should hear back in a couple days.

I suspect not, but it'd be an interesting surprise if we qualified.
