mailing-list for TeXmacs Users

[Darcy Shen <address@hidden>]

Not a hard task for me. I will setup an github repo (in ansible) for:

1. Setup a brandnew discourse forum

2. Migrate the data from one to another discourse instance

I will do some experimental work first. If it is ready, ideally, using the ansible playbook, Max can complete it in a short time.

Let us discuss the technical aspects on texmacs-dev and send private passwd in private.

Dear Darcy and Max,

Thanks for your work and help with these issues.

If you can take care of the technical aspects of freezing and moving the data,
then I can create a subdomain forum.texmacs.org for this purpose.
We can discuss the technical aspects in private or on texmacs-dev.

Best wishes, --Joris
