[smarthome-dev] Deprecating the Eclipse Forum

[Kai Kreuzer <kai@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

I was just caught by surprise by a notification banner on the Eclipse Forum pointing to https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=451571.

While I often complained about the outdated look&feel of the forum and asked for something more modern, I wonder what we consider to be the best option for ESH.

Having the forum shut down means we would need to define another place for user support. Should we shift this all those to Github with a „discussion“ label? It might make the issue tracker even more flooded and difficult to keep an overview.

Stackoverflow isn’t really a valid option as it is moderated by 3rd parties and it is not a place for longer discussions.

What is your opinion here?

Cheers,

Kai
