From @abesamma on his other gmail account: [image] [tw5] Do you already use https://talk.tiddlywiki.org/ ? Allow cross-site replies; as seen above, it seems folks would prefer being able to reply to GG posts from Discourse to ease the transition Unfortunately, mailing lists and Discourse can’…

[image] boris: I think the big question is: how long do the two systems run in parallel? And, what features or tasks need to be completed before the switch over? I think the key is just to get more people using Discourse and not just seeing it as an experiment that is just for testing by a s…

See: [image] To Admin: Why Don't Some Posts Have A Reply Button? Meta Then could the imported posts from GG include a link back to the GG topic? @boris .. Is this possible?

@pmario I answered this previously, see above. I think custom styling for the GG with a message that points to a FAQ about GG could be good. I’ll see if I can find a theme component that lets us do this. Bookmarking this for later.

I think that is making the process of VALUING Discourse over GG more difficult than it sh…

I have updated the pinned topic in the Google Group to be titled read only. New users should see it at the top of the category. [image] TW Google Group (Read Only) Google Group (Read Only) This category mirrors the TiddlyWiki Google Group , but is read only. F…

@boris , do you think it might be worthwhile to rename the topic “Google Group - Read Only (For Now)” or something similar? (If that’s not too ridiculously long.) A lot of folks may not make it as far as the category view to see the pinned topic (and may not read it even if they do catch sight of i…
