<p><font size="+1"><font face="Century Schoolbook L">topicbox is the
least flexible and ergonomic. It is solely web based; at least
discourse has a feed (and with just a bit of work could also
make messages thread, like mail or newsgroups). It seems
people who work on a fat mail client would prefer that kind of
organization - going to a web site means some won't use it.</font></font><br>

<p>Seems to me moving tb-planning to topicbox would be a good
option. We already have a bunch topic specific lists <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://discuss.thunderbird.net/">there</a>,
and it's been working pretty well.<br>

<p>We recently successfully moved from IRC to matrix for real
time comms. It's time to think about the next step.<br>
</p>
<p>Back in June I had a conversation about what Mozilla planned
for mailing lists and such, because we have so many spam
subscriptions (and I suspect email harvesting) of our several
mailing lists. It's also burdensome for administrators to
deal with all this trash. tb-planning is such a list. This is
what he had to say. <br>
</p>
<p>"The goal is that private or confidential mailing lists
[mailman, etc] will become private google groups, and that
public discussions will be moved to Discourse. Discourse has
both classic interaction options (mail, rss) as well as the
web, and between algorithms and community diligence has much
better spam filtering as well."</p>
<p>I'm not sure of the current time line, but would think they
will do this before the end of calendar year.</p>
<p>We don't need to decide immediately, but we do need to make
plans to get off of mailman in the next few months and on to
something else. <br>
