fine using Discourse instead of the email list. In case Discourse doesn't
work out, we'll collect and archive everything so it isn't lost.

Are there any existing open source projects that use these systems?
Do they use them as a substitute for the mailing list, or as a
supplement for people who wish to avoid email?
