I do agree that any more permanent and structured discussion should belong to GitHub or email. But I don't buy the argument that email threads offer that much more structure (over GitHub). Threads often go in weird directions and I got frequently lost in them. I also archive so that I don't have a ton of emails in my inbox. This makes me see only parts of conversations and search is not much easier either. >>> – Set deadlines, milestones, deliverables >> >> I think this is the most important bit and I hope we can organise it >> all on GitHub. > > +1 > > I would really like a clean slate for this, > or perhaps milestones to organize the existing issues. > Yes, one of immediate steps should be cleaning up existing issues and prioritizing them.
