2018-09 Review
In 2018-09, I had just learned about Discourse as I was working on the phplist project. phplist's forums use Discourse. At the same time, Alex Au recommended to Marcin that we setup a replacement forum using Discourse.
Pros
- Very pleasant interface
- Very ootb interactive, self-moderating, and powerful (badges, climbing ranks, love, at-calls [@], etc)
Cons
- Ruby on rails
- The openly state that they're hard to install, and therefore _only_ support installation via a docker container [1]
- I'm seriously worried about the security of a project that thinks it's acceptable to use
wget -qO- https://get.docker.com/ | shas a step in their install guide [2]
