Team Discussions are Sunsetting

[valencik]

The GitHub "Team Discussions" feature is being deprecated. https://github.blog/changelog/2023-02-08-sunset-notice-team-discussions/

We have used a the maintainers team discussion board. https://github.com/orgs/typelevel/teams/maintainers

The recommended action to use change our Team discussions into Organization Discussions. So instead of being at the team level, they'll be at the org level.

Edit: I've just checked all the other teams, no discussions, so it's just the maintainers team discussion that we'd need to migrate.

[jducoeur]

Given that that discussion was fairly broadly scoped, I don't see any obvious security concerns. So this looks straightforward. Someone in the maintainers team (which I apparently am not) will need to push the button.

If I understand correctly:

• transferring to a private repository would restrict it to members of the org (roughly coterminous with "maintainers," but @jducoeur slipped through the cracks)
• transferring to a public repository would let anybody see (but maybe or maybe not take part?)
• not transferring would leave the extant ones read-only, but we'll still want to pick one of the above moving forward?

[rossabaker]

I don't think any of the prior maintainer discussions have been "classified documents," and if they were, I don't know that GitHub would be the ideal way to broadcast it. Moving forward, regardless of whether we transfer the old ones or not, the public option sounds right.

[jducoeur]

We should make sure that everyone understands that it's public, but agreed.

[rossabaker]

Well, we missed the deadline, but there's a JSON archive on the team page that told me what I needed to know.

To enable the org discussions, we need to pick a repository. This one seems as good as any.

[samspills]

Agreed, this repo makes sense for discussions
