Hi @willu47, hi OSeMOSYS crew
I’ll respond under two hats. First, as a regular member of this community, I am very comfortable with the idea. The oemof project, for example, has 161 topics (or pages) listed under their oemof tag. And this recent thread on a potential new feature is a good example of how things can and should work.
And second, as lead admin on the forum, I am happy to help out with the migration. The Discourse development team runs a forum of course and there are many threads there about migrating content from all manner of other platforms and services.
Setting up a dedicated category and a set of sub‑categories should be straightforward. Category‑specific moderation is now supported. (Perhaps we should do this for oemof as well, they currently operate under the Q&A category.)
Private topics are possible, should that be necessary.
To note that I find admin’ing Discourse to be quite satisfying. The software is certainly well designed and quite mature now. Communiteq, who provide our commercial hosting, are also great to deal with.
Any thoughts from others in this community? Feel free to offer your views — be they for or against. R
