Hi Max,

while I agree with you in general, I see a small problem here:

While git could be tested quite isolated for a few projects, small
websites, etc, a discussion platform like Discourse can only be tested
if enough people know it and participate.

I almost completely stopped looking at community.fsfe.org, simply
because I know nothing happens there. I posted a link to a blog some
time ago, but of course no discussion happened because simply nobody
knows that community.fsfe.org exists.

If we want to test it seriously we need to advertise it to people who
want to discuss FSFE activities and Free Software topic but prefer
other tools like email. As long as it is in testing we can add a
disclaimer that discussions at community.fsfe.org can disappear at any
time in case the test run is not successful.

Cheers,
Björn
