We use mailinglists ourselves with https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/gitlabhq https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/gitlabhq (hosted outside of GitLab) but we think the best thing for newcomers is a Slack/Gitter like forum. We've added Mattermost to the GitLab Omnibus packages and we're working with Rocket Chat. When that is done it will be easy to give each project its own room or something like that. What do you think?
- scrollaway 11y agoI think if you yourself use mailing lists, you understand when and why mailing lists can't be replaced by slack/gitter and by extension you understand my point ;) Eat your own dog food, as they say. :)
- sytse 11y agoWe certainly try to use our own products as much as possible. We see that the chat is more popular. Integrating a mailinglist is not easy and we prefer to spend time on chat instead.
