I believe we’ve fully transitioned to discourse and it’s time to shut down the mailing lists. This has been the original goal from the start, and here are two things I think about suggesting now is a good time to do it:
- There has been almost no traffic in months, yet a lot on discourse
- The active users from the mailing lists also seem present on discourse now too
At pulpcon today it was proposed that we switch them into read-only mode at the end of the month. This would still allow them to be searchable. FYI you can search them here: Getting Help | software repository management
I’d like to use this thread to ask for (a) concerns and (b) coordination in working towards this goal. Here are the steps I think we should take.
- Email pulp-list and pulp-dev identifying the timeline and pointing users to this thread.
- Updating pulpproject.org (the site) to point users to discourse instead of the mailing list. Keep the "old mailing list search ".
- Switch the mailing lists into read-only mode and to not accept new users at the end of Nov 2022.
