Consider not using google-groups #2

Closed mmlb closed 3 years ago

mmlb commented 3 years ago

Google groups currently requires google login just to view content and that doesn't seem very inclusive. Github doesn't require login to view our code, issues, PRs. This discrepancy is a sour point for me, and others that I've noticed out on the net.

2 alternative options I can think of at the moment would be:

  1. mailing lists hosted on sr.ht: See sourcehut's own mailing lists as example: https://sr.ht/~sircmpwn/sourcehut/lists
  2. Reddit: rust is a well known example project using reddit for comms for a long time now. More recently Go has started experimenting with it too for proposal comms.

Talking with @displague and it seems the public view is an option that needs to be toggled. Which I think has now been enabled. Still, would like to have this convo anyway.

One of the reasons why Google Group is cool is because subscribers receive a calendar invite as well. I understand your concern and probably @thomcrowe is the right person to hook here.

@gianarb calendar invite to what?

gianarb commented 3 years ago

weekly contributor meeting. A public event that contributors can join. If you are a member of the group you should have it in your calendar as well

Ah gotcha. I think my main motivation has been addressed so if nothing else pops up then we can close and stay with GG.

gianarb commented 3 years ago

I will close this also because I want to archive this repo in favor of .github
