This has been discussed before, many times, so I'll keep this brief and let you find the old discussions. I think "moving to a modern platform" presents a false dichotomy. Any move needs to be assessed on both the advantages and disadvantages of *both* (or all) options, not just what looks new and shiny if we move. Some starting points off the top of my head: * Ease of access (is subscribing to e-mail *really* harder than logging into Github?) * Notification of replies and new threads (I find Github pretty awful at controlling e-mails and giving useful activity overviews) * Handling of threads and sub-threads (at minimum, a tree view like a decent e-mail client; preferably, ability for trusted users to split and merge threads) * Spam control Regards, -- Rowan Tommins [IMSoP]
