Dear Mailman 3 Users,
Since Mailman 3 includes a forum feature via Hyperkitty, I would like to know the following:
Has the forum feature (Hyperkitty) of MM3 been received well by your list members or is it mostly ignored?
Do you see an increase in the use of HK as a forum from your list members?
For this list, I don't know other than myself, and for myself I receive the list and read it by email. I will occasionally reply from HyperKitty if I have reson to reply to a post that I have deleted from my mail server.
For mail.python.org, there are multiple list members (including Guido) on multiple lists who use HyperKitty exclusively in lieu of mail.
For my bicycling club lists, very few users use HyperKitty for anything and most didn't use pipermail either even though we had htdig integration. Those few that do use it probably use it primarily for search.
- What kind of feedback have you received from your list members considering the forum function of MM3? Positive or negative?
They find warts, in part due to the still developmental markdown rendering https://gitlab.com/mailman/hyperkitty/-/merge_requests/160 that's installed there and on this list too, but overall those that use it, like it and prefer the forum model to the email list model.
- Do you think HK is received well by your list members as an archiver and do you think it provides a better user experience for viewing/searching archives vs Pipermail of MM2?
Yes and Yes.
Thank you for anything you shared. I am very curious to know the state of Hyperkitty among the Mailman 3 user community.
