It is very difficult to search for a message (if you did not archive everything, then you must rely on the on-line database), if you delete a message, reply to that thread is not very straightforward, etc.
discourse (http://discourse.julialang.org). It turn out that it is very good. In my opinion, much better than mailing lists using e-mails.
So much "better" that my involvement in fostering mozilla.org products dropped by at least half. I _had_ several mozilla.org mailing list subscriptions that I was more than just nominally active in.
Discourse is like most of the web, hard to use, designed by juvenile brains for juvenile eyes.
More seriously: I just don't get what's wrong with mailing lists. Every time I tried Discourse I got lost with it's overloaded and bloated UI. Too many buttons, smilies, BB code and stuff. Maybe I'm getting too old for such things...

That said, if there's real demand for some web-based clicky interface I'd like to point out Hyperkitty from Fedora: http://hyperkitty.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/
Same class as Discourse, scripts hiding content, nothing to see without annoying scripts enabled, distracting subtopics (most recent, most active, most popular, statistics) hiding basics (columns: by date, by author, by thread, mbox), and gray on gray mousetype surrounded by copious whitespace. I had a dozen fedora mailing list subs before Hyperkitty, now one.
One advantage for me and mine, is it cut my time involved in Fedora by at least half, so more time to spend making user styles for opensuse.org work better if nothing else.
But you can certainly choose to avoid it. I don't use HyperKitty very much for my Fedora ML interactions, but it's certainly nice having SSO for managing my MLs. People who like that model can certainly use it. And in the end, it's still email. I don't know if it's possible, but it might be possible to simultaneously have a Pipermail frontend for browsing, if desired. It's all Mailman in the end. I would love if the openSUSE mailing lists moved to Mailman+HyperKitty+Postorius. It's a way nicer experience over mlmmj (which frustrates me to no end). -- 真実はいつも一つ!/ Always, there's only one truth! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
