[hackerspaces] Mailing List Software

[Edward L Platt]

A little more background on Discourse.  Jeff Atwood (of Stack Overflow)
created it because SO prohibits discussion, vague questions, and opinions,
but had a lot of good features for moderating those things.  Discourse was
the result of that.  It's the best forum software I've seen to date.  It's
built in Ruby on Rails.
