Although I have no problem with GitHub, not sure why in my heart I have some resistance to all these changes 
So my first reaction is that there are so many topics open, not sure what to put where: on GitHub or on here. I am sure somewhere it was discussed and ācategoriesā, but I didnāt read it and I wonāt read it except if it jumps under my eyes
Anyway, regarding some remarks about the list items:
-
Invite GitHub OSD members.
Not sure whatās the plan here. We have lots of members, but I donāt think they should be invited / ported here. It was ok to be part of one organization, but having 2 places to be part of / invited might be too much.
So not sure what you mean by this point: do you plan to make a script and send invites to all current members? I think this should come organic. If there are interesting topics discussed / listed in Discourse, I think people will join. I donāt think manual invitations are required. -
Update the OSD website
I think this is the most important part. We need to promote the āserviceā and people will use it, if they see benefit, not because theyāve received an invite. So the website needs to list the āserviceā and we should send a Tweet about it (not sure if you have other ideas in mind in the āPromote the forumā point). -
Migrate GH Issues to Discourse.
Same thing on the migration. Not sure how will have the time to migrate them, and I guess things will get confusing. We should wait for the open ones to close, but decide that new items related should go here. -
Decide when to open to the masses.
IMO this should go ASP. That was the whole reason for the forum. I see you want some kind of preparation, but I would just let people create content on it and use it. -
Configuration
Is there a way to remove the āSuggested Topicsā gadget at the bottom of each topic? I find it to crowd the interface and I personally just donāt care about it. I would prefer to have things simpler now, especially since Iām a bit overwhelmed.
