{{vote|yes}} Good step in improving accessibility and participation, especially for the newer generation of mappers. --[[User:Tjuro|Tjuro]] ([[User talk:Tjuro|talk]]) 07:18, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
{{vote|no}} I think it's too early to remove the mailing list as the required place to post and a more defined transition period is needed. For now, the better approach would be to set up the forum so that any proposals posted there send an automated email to the tagging mailing list. As (if) people transition in the future, then these rules can be changed. [[User:Casey boy|Casey boy]] ([[User talk:Casey boy|talk]]) 09:21, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
{{vote|no}} I think it is too early. People have to warm to the new forum first. I can see that once this has happened there might be a natural tendency for some things to move to the new forum and then we can think about changing the rules. But for now, things work well enough. Frankly, I don't share the rationale above - someone who proposes a new tag will already have to set up the wiki page and read up on the process, will one extra small thing really discourage them? They don't even have to sign up to the mailing list, they can just ask someone else to post the announcement there. I don't see the need to rush this and I also sense some disrespect towards the mailing list community in the proposal, as if one wanted to make the mailing list obsolete as quickly as possible. --[[User:Woodpeck|Woodpeck]] ([[User talk:Woodpeck|talk]]) 09:38, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
