Dear Chapel mailing list subscribers —
After years of talking about it but failing to act, we've finally started
the process of retiring Chapel's SourceForge-hosted mailing lists (the
ones where you're receiving this message) in favor of a more modern,
ad-free way of supporting discussions within the community via email or
the web. Specifically, we've launched a Chapel Discourse site.
If you're not familiar with Discourse, it's a web-based technology for
discussions that can be used both from a browser or in more of a mailing
list mode. Discourse supports 'topics' sorted into 'categories' where you
can think of:
* topics = an email thread or a discussion thread on a web forum
* category = like a mailing list or a tag/folder on a web forum
We invite and encourage everyone subscribed here to register and to join
us for further discussion about Chapel at:
https://chapel.discourse.group/
Once you've registered, I suggest:
* taking a look at the 'Categories' tab, which is a good way to get an
overview of the site, particularly if you're coming from a mailing list
mindset:
https://chapel.discourse.group/categories
Each top-level category should have a pinned "about this category" post
that's intended to describe what it's for and how you can post to it via
email, once registered.
* Decide which categories you want to follow or mute.
* Take a moment to introduce yourself to the community:
https://chapel.discourse.group/t/introduce-yourself/
* Send us your questions and feedback in the "site feedback"
category:
https://chapel.discourse.group/c/site-feedback
At some point this fall, we will be disabling the SourceForge mailing
lists, but for a time, we'll keep both forums going while people work on
converting over.
Looking forward to further Discourse with you,
-Brad (on behalf of the Chapel team at HPE) |
