IMPORTANT NOTICE: Site maintenance 2014/10/21

We will be performing maintenance on Discourse on 2014/10/21 at 22:00 UTC. Maintenance is expected to last 10 minutes and there will be a few minutes of downtime during this period.

Changing the homepage of Discourse

We’ve had a long discussion (linked below) about which page users should see when they first get to Discourse - The current ‘firehose’ of information or the proposed category view. To come to a conclusive decision, we will be trialling the category view for one week. We encourage everyone to post in the same thread and let us know which view you prefer most.

Other Changes:

  • Minor Discourse version upgrade
  • Change our email delivery service from Mandrill to Amazon SES - If after the change, notifications from Discourse end up in spam or otherwise are different from before, please let us know.
  • Add email addresses to categories - The most requested feature we’ve had is coming! You will be able to email a category’s address to post a new thread. With this feature, you can now use Discourse just like mailing lists (great for the folks who live in their inbox)

You can visit http://health.mozilla-community.org/ for more information.
