[READ AND ACT] MDN discussions migrating to Discourse

[Janet Swisher]

=Summary=

We're moving to Discourse!

Please start using the "MDN" category:
https://discourse.mozilla-community.org/c/mdn

You can also start a discussion by sending an email message to:
m...@mozilla-community.org

=Details=

The public discussions related to MDN that currently take place mailing
lists/google groups/newsgroups are now migrating to Mozilla's web-based
Discourse instance, in the "MDN" category. You are encouraged to use the
web interface for these discussions, though it is possible to interact
with Discourse (almost) entirely by email if you prefer.

==How do I use Discourse?==

Refer to the following pages for helpful instructions:

* Signing up and logging in
<https://discourse.mozilla-community.org/t/signing-up-and-logging-in/16017>;
if you have a Mozilla LDAP account, you can use that instead of
"Login with email".
* Subscribing to categories and topics
<https://discourse.mozilla-community.org/t/subscribing-to-categories-and-topics/16024>;
you should subscribe to the "MDN" category; anything else is your
preference.
* (optional) Set up a mailing list experience for yourself
<https://discourse.mozilla-community.org/t/mailman-mode/15279>; for
filtering purposes, notifications for the MDN category have "[MDN]"
in the Subject line, and "disc...@mozilla-community.org" in the
From line.

If you use Discourse via email, you can reply to a message by replying
to the notification email that you receive. If you want to intersperse
comments inline within a reply, please put two carriage-returns before
and after your inline chunks, so that Discourse parses them correctly.

==What's happening to the mailing lists?==

The current mailing lists will continue to work during the transition
period. It's reasonable to continue existing threads via the mailings
lists. However, I encourage you to start new discussions using Discourse
instead.

We will evaluate when to permanently shut down the mailing lists based
on the issues with Discourse, if any, that arise during the transition.

==What if I have a problem with Discourse?==

If you have questions about using discourse, check the Help category:
https://discourse.mozilla-community.org/c/meta/help

If your question isn't already answered there, you can post it in that
category.

If you have a problem that you're confident is a bug, or if you're
unable to access the Help category, you can file a Github issue with
Mozilla Participation Systems: https://github.com/mozilla/parsys/issues
