You are? That's quick! Discourse looks interesting but it is worth
querying whether the quality of the software running a site is critical
to the site's popularity. ask.debian.net started off well enough; quite
a number of developers answered questions. But, as time went on, it
declined. My view is that this mailing list and forums.debian.net are
enough for the Debian help system.
Be that as it may, would it be it be asking too much to keep this list
informed on progress. Thanks for your work.

I think Ric does understand the request but cannot resist putting the
boot in. :) It's all part of the debian-user experience.
