Why doesn't github have a proper discussion forum per project? I don't consider the "issues" a proper discussion forum.
That seems to me like it would be much more valuable, specially for community projects.
- derefr 11y agoPresumably because discussion forums aren't anyone at Github's expertise. They're a whole product of their own.
- hasenj 11y agoThis argument could be made against wikis and issues and static websites (and file uploads). I think a discussion forum is integral to any open source project. People traditionally use mailing lists, which have an awful UX in my opinion. A moderately better alternative is google groups, which is basically just a nicer UI for a mailing list.
