[swift-evolution] [Discussion] mailing list alternative

[Joshua Alvarado]

It will be painted! ;)

So far we have:
+2 Disclosure 
+1 Slack
+1 Issue tracker

Let's really get everyone's opinions and see if we can get this rock rolling towards a better solution. Of course it will be Apple's choice in the end but we can give a voice on the matter to show we do care about moving over. 

Alvarado, Joshua

I wouldn't even know how to find if it has been discussed before because it would be too hard to go back through the history.

>>> The main factors to move away from email is because email may deter newcomers, history, and threads. I may be speaking for myself when saying email may intimidate newcomers from expressing their opinions and thoughts. It is hard to know what has already been discussed and who is even in the active conversation. Keeping track of history is a pain as well. Searching through many emails to find who said what and when is not effective in email clients. Also, code formatting in emails is not effective. Let's discuss and actually make an action to move away from email if the community so agrees. Of course, recommendations are Slack, Hipchat (-1), and Gitter.
