We in the Istio community have been working to find the right medium for users to engage with other members of the community -- to ask questions,
|
||
to get help from other users, and to engage with developers working on the project.
|
||
|
||
We’ve tried several different avenues, but each has had some downsides. RocketChat was our most recent endeavor, but the lack of certain
|
||
features (for example, threading) meant it wasn’t ideal for any longer discussions around a single issue. It also led to a dilemma for
|
||
some users -- when should I email istio-users@googlegroups.com and when should I use RocketChat?
|
||
|
||
We think we’ve found the right balance of features in a single platform, and we’re happy to announce
|
||
[discuss.istio.io](https://discuss.istio.io). It’s a full-featured forum where we will have discussions about Istio from here on out.
|
||
It will allow you to ask a question and get threaded replies! As a real bonus, you can use your GitHub identity.
|
||
|
||
If you prefer emails, you can configure it to send emails just like Google groups did.
|
||
|
||
We will be marking our Google groups "read only" so that the content remains, but we ask you to send further questions over to
|
||
[discuss.istio.io](https://discuss.istio.io). If you have any outstanding questions or discussions in the groups, please move the conversation over.
|
||
|
||
Happy meshing!
