[wix-users] WiX Toolset Discussions experiment on GitHub

[Rob Mensching]

Edwin, I'm struggling with the *exact same @#$%! thing* at the moment. I seem to get email notifications if someone responds to me but don't get notifications to all new items.

The "notification stream workflow" (exactly what you describe below) is why GitHub Discussions is an experiment. If it won't fit, then I have another experiment in mind.

But first to give the beta GitHub Discussions a good run out and see how it changes.

I'm not familiar with GitHub Discussions. Is there a way to get notifications of posts sent to email?

Effectively, I'd like to recreate the email stream provided by the mailing list. In an ideal world, I'd be able to respond to a discussion by replying to email.

[rant]Needing to remember to go to some site other than email to check for new posts and possibly respond to them will likely not happen. I already only check email sporadically but I work out of my email inbox. Moving that workflow out of email does not improve effectiveness for folks that still work primarily with a keyboard and mouse. I suspect smartphone notification is the new email but I don't work out of my phone. The phone is not a proper replacement for a keyboard and mouse. I need notifications where I work. I'm getting old.[/rant]

We're starting an experiment using Discussions as a place to talk about the WiX Toolset: https://github.com/wixtoolset/issues/discussions

If the experiment goes well, we will likely decommission this wix-users mailing list. If the experiment does not go well, we'll probably delete the content there. So, don't write down your life's work there. It may not last.

You're welcome to join the experiment, if you like. We'll see how it goes.
