Oggetto: [libreoffice-website] Discourse as a proposal to replace
AskData: giovedì 30 aprile 2020, 12:25:33 CESTDa: sophi <

Hi all,
I would like to invite you to a discussion and later to a test
onDiscourse instance to evaluate the replacement of our Ask
instance.Guilhem has not yet installed a test instance on our infra
but he willdo in the next weeks.
The reasoning to a migration is that Ask is often seen as complicated
byour users, it's not clear for them how they should comment or
answer andeven vote. On the admin side, their is only one developer
and he isresponding with long delays to our issues and requests. Our
infra teamis not able to maintain the instance. So the situation is
really notideal here.
After spending some time on researching alternative tools,
Discourse,however being not perfect, appears to answer most of our
needs. We have15 languages to handle and it seems the only one to
deal correctly withthe different scripts, fonts and research
functions.
If we are happy with the tests, then we will decide on the
migrationtime. Ask instance would be deprecated. There is a script
that allow toimport Ask to Discourse. We will run it, but it may need
some (or more!)work.The idea is to create one language per category,
then it will bepossible to have subcategories per language.Fedora
community has migrated from Ask to Discourse last year, see herefor
an example of their forum https://ask.fedoraproject.org/
I will take attach with them to get feedback on their experience
howeverthey do not host their instance.
So here is the rough idea. I would like to have your feedback on
it.Again I'm well aware that Discourse is not the perfect tool, but I
thinkit doesn't exist for a large and diverse community as ours (see
alsoGNOME community for example, they also use Discourse). But if
youhave strong arguments against it or for it, please let me know.
Let me know also if you want to participate to the test.
Discourse documentation is here:
