<html><body><div id="edo-message"><div>When it comes to infrastructure/dev-ops, Apple probably have people responsible for it (like Shah Mischal does the CI server); I think Chris mentioned in the last discussion on this topic that they do.</div><div><br></div><div>It would be worth getting in touch with those people and finding out which issues are blocking a switch to a platform such as Discourse.</div><div><br></div><div>For one thing, there's a huge collection of great, in-depth information on these lists; the kind of behind-the-scenes technical details that devs love to read up on (the kind of stuff you'd find on Mike Ash's blog). It's a bit difficult to find and discover these things, though.</div><div><br></div><div>Sticky posts would also be great: maybe could have a friendly reminder on swift-evo that we're only taking ABI-breaking proposals right now, or split the "pitch" threads in to a separate sub forum, or keep commonly-rejected proposal threads around so people can read *why* they were rejected.</div><div><br></div><div>There are loads of opportunities to improve the community experience, IMO. So I definitely support a move to something richer than a mailing-list, but from previous discussions it sounds like Discourse (rather than Slack) will give us lots of these benefits with least upheaval.</div><div><br></div><div>- Karl<br><br><style>#edo-signature img {max-width: 90%}</style><div id="edo-signature" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue','Helvetica',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font:'-apple-system-body';"></div><br><div id="edo-link"></div></div></div><div id="edo-original"><div><br><br><blockquote type="cite" style="margin:1ex 0 0 0;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:0.5ex;"><div>On Oct 30, 2016 at 8:26 pm, <<a href="mailto:swift-evolution@swift.org">Adrian Zubarev via swift-evolution</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><div><style>body{font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px}</style><div id="bloop_customfont" style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px; color: rgba(0,0,0,1.0); margin: 0px; line-height: auto;">Hello dear Swift community,</div><div id="bloop_customfont" style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px; color: rgba(0,0,0,1.0); margin: 0px; line-height: auto;"><br></div><div id="bloop_customfont" style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px; color: rgba(0,0,0,1.0); margin: 0px; line-height: auto;">I’d like to pitch the idea of introducing an official Slack team?</div><div id="bloop_customfont" style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px; color: rgba(0,0,0,1.0); margin: 0px; line-height: auto;"><br></div><div id="bloop_customfont" style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px; color: rgba(0,0,0,1.0); margin: 0px; line-height: auto;">Never heard of Slack before: <a href="https://slack.com">https://slack.com</a> </div><div id="bloop_customfont" style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px; color: rgba(0,0,0,1.0); margin: 0px; line-height: auto;"><br></div><div id="bloop_customfont" style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px; color: rgba(0,0,0,1.0); margin: 0px; line-height: auto;">I know we might have a forum in the future + we already have swift-users, but there are might be other talks you have on your mind around Swift.
