@all: Discourse is coming and Sophi asked about some details. Gave my 2¢, no strong opinion on any topic, and wonder what you think. Please comment.

What is the alternative?

No, the ML should remain.

This is a question to everyone: I'm thinking of
* Design (UX/design tasks like mockups),
* Patches (simple easyhacks patches for example about terminology),
* Vision (rather far-fetched ideas)
* Presence (discussions about current topics)
* Meetings (what this ML is lately most about)

Given that we have not much discussion on the ML we could also start with just one pot.

Understand Categories as a subcategory of all LibreOffice Discourse topics. Having more hierarchy would be an overkill.

Green, white?

Thought topics on Discourse would be forwarded to the ML and vice versa anyway.

Sending a message to the ML sounds feasible :-)

Would be nice if users could configure the kind of notification. It's something one can opt-in on the ML as well.

Volunteers, step forward

If you mean the listarchive this might be a nice to have, if we retire this service.
