Move forum to different platform

[Jeremias Volker]

Google groups feel like a dying dinosaur. Shall we move to a different platform?

E.g. https://www.discourse.org/ which is open source and used e.g. by the Processing foundation and vvvv community.

I'd be happy to set it up.

Yep, go for it!

Would it be possible to set it up on the Openframe server?

Also, I just realised that Discourse requires Docker: https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL.md

I've never used Docker but there is an installation guide. Unfortunately, my web provider doesn't support docker so I can't offer to host it on my server.

The forum deleted two of my posts without my intention a few days ago. They were then sent via email about three days later instead of being sent immediately. Google Groups seems to have a problem. I've started to transfer most of my conversation to Github until we've got a better tool here.

Jonathan Wohl told me my messages needed to be reviewed first since they had attachments and were never deleted.

Anyway, we figured Discourse offers free accounts to some open source projects. This is the form to apply for this free plan: https://free.discourse.group/
