New forum, help wanted

[Jan Wielemaker]

Hi,

I've asked and received a free forum on Discourse.org. The address is
https://swi-prolog.discourse.group. I went through the basic setup
dialog, adding names and icons. There is a lot to configure and ideally
we should migrate this group. I understand that Discourse has an API
that provides full control and thus you can write nice Prolog programs :)

I'm looking for volunteers who would like to organize the forum. I think
we can have up to 5 admin accounts, so the work can be split.

Subscriptions are already open. Please have a look, see how we can make
this work and get rid of Google groups as many of you have asked for so
long.

Thanks --- Jan

Hi Jan, I'd be happy to help with the Discourse if needed!

Great !

I don't have technical regrets to GGroups, but I have a 'social' one, Richard O'Keefe goodby.

Would be inappropriate to invite him ? Since presumably he doesn't follow this thread.

Ciao, Carlo

Surely I'd welcome Richard's input again! Might be wise to wait a
little until we are on track, notably with clear instructions on how
to use this as a mail list.

Cheers --- Jan
