Brett is exactly right about me. I'm following along on Discourse and this mailing list when I have the time. I plan to read the governance PEPs and vote when the time comes. But, I don't have anything useful to say.

At the sprint, I verbally supported Łukasz's plans to try out Discourse. Discourse isn't perfect and may feel uncomfortable, but we're also losing potential contributors because they find mailing lists uncomfortable.

I also supported the trial of Discourse.

However, now that I have tried it, it will be a no from me. I find the presentation of threaded conversations in linear format to be confusing, figuring out what I have and have not read to be difficult, and the overall frustration to not be worth it. It definitely has some nice features, but I won't be using them because I won't be using Discourse.
