I hate google groups because its not easy to find help so people keep asking the same question over and over again.

Anything specific about that exceites your interest?
Meteor is using Discourse (self-hosted), as are a number of other open source communities, such as ReactJS, Mozilla, and ElasticSearch (also used by New Relic and How-To Geek).
I like it and even suggested it here as a possible alternative to Google Groups when the web interfaces stopped working, but I'm not sure it is really any more easily searched than Google Groups.

Google Groups:pros:+ email integration (quick question and quick answer mostly)
+ well known, wide usage (not necessery to sign up for another forum)
+ google power (search) (but when i search a problem, stackowerflow is first and right result)

Discourse seems really nice... It represents a lot of work... But as a "proof of concept" I think we should considering to use our own tool (web2py) to create our own mailing-list... Could we "seriously" be able to manage our own list and write our own app for this? This is a big undertake and maintenance contract...

You can post/reply via email on Discourse as well. Discourse also allows you to use Markdown in both the web UI and via email.

True, though Discourse has social login, allowing you to use Google, Yahoo, Facebook, Twitter, or Github to sign in.

Discourse appears to have pretty decent search, plus it can be indexed by Google.
I really dislike Discourse. It's a Ruby app, and it requires a ton of addons. It's bloated and slow
, and since it uses virtual infinite scroll, it's very difficult to search within discussions.
In the running is stackoverflow.com which is widely used, already has a web2py tag, and the interface is ideal for asking questions as well as answering them. It even has gaming to incentivize people to answer questions. The only issues are, this forum is not promoted on the web2py main page, and thus there are a lot of unanswered questions.

Google Groups:pros:+ email integration (quick question and quick answer mostly)+ well known, wide usage (not necessery to sign up for another forum)+ google power (search) (but when i search a problem, stackowerflow is first and right result)cons:- very (and very) bad interface
- recently unknown issues- not enough social- unused tag system (because of email send messages)
we should look alternatives' pros and cons to make right desicion.
I guess I'm atypical, but I don't find the GG interface to be bad (even after the change 2 years ago).
Why metor and not simply use stackoverflow?
Before we take bold actions... what are the problems with this forum that we want to solve? For me the only real issue is poor search capability but I have no reason to believe that Discourse would be better on a forum of this size.
Some WORKING place for addon software (like plugins) would be much more useful.
Why we cannot have a list of addons at the web2py.com directly ? Linked from one button at the Download page ?

One problem of google groups is the lack of categories.
I am not pretending that it is the way to go... But, I can much more easily recall something that I read because it search much better then google can even when you search in the group with google groups... which sometimes can't even find the exact post that I can in a snap with gmail...
