Let's not go in that way.

As a ~new person~ on KDE, 3 years only, we need to move to a modern web. At least in my point of view, I really think that using old stuff doesn't attract new people. In that I have a few ideas for some KDE websites go modern, but that is a project for the future.

Discourse is a way to do that. I don't have much idea on how is the cost to maintain such an application, but in the field to setup it, I don't

think that is hard since we just need docker and Postgres.

So Ben and other sysadmins,

Ben, you had some concerns that others answered on this thread.

What do you think?

Also, I found this ansible to deploy discourse with and without docker, that can be a starting point:

https://github.com/jamielinux/ansible-discourse

Let's think about how this can help all the KDE users, and push our community forward. If we have old stuff that is hard to maintain, and it is outdated, we should move forward.

** My opinions can be simple, because I think that the situation is simple, also because I may not have a macro view of everything**

Cheers,

No company would publish their precious IP (aka source code) as Free Software.
Luckily, KDE is not a company but a community of people where everybody, even
the most precious developers, can be at the front line for support if they
want to be there.
