<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Hi again, </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">I just got a concern on having the developers posts visible to everybody on the forum. GROMACS forum is continuously scanned by crawlers. In the developers category, posts on the Wedsnesday meeting (including details of the zoom room) will be set. I can not estimate if this could cause not-project-related persons mis-using the zoom information or disturbing the call. An alternative is to have the developers category visible to all the forum users (this also includes sign-in GROMACS users that do not belong to the developers group). </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Maybe it can be discussed on next Wedsnesday.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Alessandra </div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Sep 29, 2022 at 2:52 PM Alessandra Villa <<a href="mailto:alessandra.villa.biosim@gmail.com">alessandra.villa.biosim@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Thank you for all the inputs.

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>

Have used selfhosted Mattermost and Zulip. A number of communities
