Proposal:Require proposal announcements to be made on the new forum instead of the mailing list: Difference between revisions

:::{{ping|Mateusz Konieczny}} No, I mean Discourse, I know the difference, and being self-hosted or otherwise does not necessarily mean much. How easily can one download archives of posts/threads (if at all possible), and how easily can one consume them (outside Discourse)? That's what I mean by "walled garden". If it's not possible, Discourse is just another place where content goes to die. Email and mailing lists have been around since before the dinosaurs -- that's a pro, not a con! because it means they've been used in very constrained environments -- and those features have been around for just as long -- email archives aren't lost when the mailing list management software is changed, everything is exported from the old and imported into the new. Were anyone to decide to move away from Discourse, how easily (if at all possible) could we keep the current content? --[[User:O-andras|O-andras]] ([[User talk:O-andras|talk]]) 00:45, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
