I am a member of Clarion Hub (https://clarionhub.com/ <https://clarionhub.com/> ) which uses Discourse.
A nice, neat and tidy, well organised site.

Jonatan-
This is far from obvious. Those two choices are simply two possible choices of many.
I would like the Firebird community to get off the antiquated Yahoo service, which has presented operational problems fairly regularly, is clearly being reduced, and continues to be neglected by Yahoo.
I would certainly like to see the Firebird community consolidate to one platform that provides both forum-type access to threads as well as mailing list-type access. There are platforms that do both. My current preference is discourse.org.
Is this change something the Firebird Foundation could take a lead in?

We should move the project to the github and use google groups for discussions. It is obvious, wondering, why such proposal has not emerged so far already.
