Talk:Vote to Replace Google Groups with Discourse Forum (view source)
Revision as of 15:53, 5 October 2017
, 15:53, 5 October 2017→Migration: I recommend not importing old mailing list posts
== Migration ==
It looks like there's been at least some work done by other people in moving from google groups to discourse - see [https://meta.discourse.org/t/migration-of-google-groups-to-discourse/48012 here], e.g.
I suggest we make performing the migration a part of the vote language; e.g.:
* We authorize the board to lock out the Public and Private Google Groups from additional posts, with the requirement that the posts already in the Public and Private google Groups be migrated into Discourse.

: I think it is better not to migrate old stuff. The problems outweigh the benefits. It would pull in ancient baggage. [[User:Skm|Skm]] ([[User talk:Skm|talk]]) 10:53, 5 October 2017 (CDT)

When we played with Discourse before, I thought it would be nice to have moderators per categories. For example, if we had a python category it would make sense to have people who run the python groups be moderators only in that category but not in a category like hot metals. People want the feature but it [https://meta.discourse.org/t/add-moderator-for-specific-category-or-subcategory/35761/5 does not exist yet]. (I haven't been hosting PYOO for a while now, and I wouldn't want to be a moderator for anything else. too much work to triage whether something is off-topic, spam, mean, etc).
