unless forums have a 'act like email' mode, I don't use them. I can't be bothered to check dozens of websites continually for new posts. And one0way email notification of new activity is a far distant second.

Have you looked at the Discussions feature of GH? It's a full featured forum, not a discussion on a repo.

having two different channels for communications guarantees that people will miss discussions happening on the other channel.
comments in a doc or on a repo are appropriate for discussing specific changes, but not mroe general discussions IMHO

Moving this back to -planning. There's no secrets here.
Perhaps people have opinions on how they'd prefer to interact. We should get input (if any) from the actual people on this list before deciding one path is better than the other, or that we need 1 vs 2 or 2 vs 1.

I believe if the repo is starred you will get notifications, but I may be wrong.
As it stands we get little-to-no-engagement on the mailing list. If we want engagement, we should probably provide *more* ways to engage, not less.
That said, I don't mind if we want to kill the list. Since we're moving docs to the GH wiki, moving discussions there just centralizes stuff.

having yet another place to check for a group of volunteers who are already busy is not a good idea. If we're moving to github discussions then we should kill the mailing list.

Mailing lists are not-as-popular these days, so I've gone ahead and enabled the 'discussions' tab in the SCALE-Planning GH repo:

Feel free to engage there!
