I like the way the user forum is working under Discourse. I think it
is very easy to interact with it in a mailing-list style while also
having useful features like attachments, formatting for code
snippets, etc. Having a developer-only forum would be useful, in my
opinion. It could be visible to the rest of the community but
perhaps permissions can be set so that only verified developers can
access it to post.<br>

also use Matrix.
