[Pandas-dev] Remove old mailing lists

[Christopher Short]

For what it’s worth - all the discourse channels have an RSS feed, so using your preferred RSS reader makes the occasional dipping in and out straight forward. 

For intermittent readers, It also offers the benefit that you easily cast your eye over all that has transpired since you last dipped in.

cheers

But we had that discussion several weeks ago. We decided to move forward with Discourse at that time. I spent many hours learning about it, and setting it up. So, I'm not really looking forward to start again with this. I'm happy to hand over this to you, if you want to research further and lead the discussion. And implement whatever is best.

I have no idea about how to set up Discourse as a mailing list, or how to do it for subcommunities. But if you have a specific way you want it to work, please do the research, and propose (and implement) the best solution for all us. Or is your proposal to stay with what we have.
