Having said that, I'm more than happy to wait indefinitely for such an improvement; it's not worth holding up the roll-out.<br>

>>> There was a long thread on swift-evolution about whether we should use modern forum software — like Discourse — as an alternative to the mailing lists we have now. After a long discussion, the Core Team has decided to move swift-evolution and swift-users to Discourse.<br>
>>><br>
>>> There are tradeoffs to moving to a forum. The main advantages are:<br>
>>><br>
>>> - Easy for people to participate without subscribing to the entire mailing list, as well as no need to provide email address to participate. A lot of people have voiced concern that they feel resistance to participate because of needing to subscribe to a mailing list.<br>
>>><br>
>>> - Consistent affordances and rendering of content, including Markdown support. This is really useful for having technical discussions.<br>
>>><br>
>>> - Better searching of topics, archiving, etc.<br>
>>><br>
>>> - More tools for moderation.<br>
>>><br>
>>> - Topic cross-referencing, and consistent organization of topics instead of whatever threading support a mail client provides (which is inconsistent).<br>
>>><br>
>>> I also want to consider moving the -dev lists to the same forum setup as well; but that will be a separate conversation on those lists.<br>
>>><br>
>>> A rollout plan has not been figured out. People are busy and there are logistics to figure out. I will be engaging a handful of members from the community to help with the transition. Specifically, there are those who really value using email for participation on swift-evolution and swift-users, and the goal is to get the forum setup to allow those people to continue to feel effective when using email for discussions on these "lists".<br>
>>><br>
>>> More details will be announced as they get figured out, but I felt it was important to let the community know about this direction.<br>
