We enabled the [GitHub discussions](https://github.com/orgs/beman-project/discussions) feature for the Beman project before we decided on using discourse. If there are no objections, I’ll disable that feature so we can concentrate our conversations in one place. The plan is to disable it one week from today.

@tzlaine , @InbalL , and @rmpowell77 feel free to migrate discussions you started over there to discourse topics if you think they’re still relevant.

No objections - and lol extra chars bc discourse requires 20 chars for a response…

Yeah, it seems they encourage a 💓 to signal agreement. 😄
