Phew... thank you for that review!
- Regarding Discord, the community has repeatedly declined to move from the Mailing List. I'm not a big fan of Mailing Lists, but I see no point in insisting on that.
You meant Discourse. I can think of one "advantage." You can lock threads, delete posts, and ban people more easily. For example: https://discourse.bemanproject.org/t/participation-in-beman-project/194 In this post I asked if I was welcome to participate in the Beman project, referencing the aspect of its code of conduct which refers to off-platform behavior. Jeff Garland replied and asked me why I would want to participate. I explained to him that the benefits to a greater number of users who adopt Mr. Docs for documenting their proposed libraries outweigh the disadvantages of working with people who dislike me. David Sankel then locked the thread. And now it seems he has deleted the thread. My question was never answered. I'd rather not see this style of moderation come to places where Boost discussions take place, thank you. Regards
