<div dir="ltr">I just noticed a hackerspace using some software called Discourse for their mailing list + forum: <a href="http://forum.tinkermill.org/latest/more">http://forum.tinkermill.org/latest/more</a><div><br></div><div>
It also looks like Discourse is free (and open source) as long as you host it yourself. The github page for Discourse is here: <a href="https://github.com/discourse/discourse">https://github.com/discourse/discourse</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>At Dallas Makerspace, we use a bunch of different Google Groups. We switched from mailman because Google Groups has a better web interface and we liked the idea of not hosting/managing it ourselves. Unfortunately, no one seems to use Google Group's web interface and there are a few quirks I would like to fix, but it isn't open source.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Discourse's categories functionality and better web interface makes it seem like a good replacement for Google Groups.</div><div><br></div><div>Does anyone have any feedback about Discourse vs Google Groups? Is there an even better alternative?</div>
