Intersect is a temporary VM running Discourse. This is to test the software as a possible replacement for Google Groups

Discourse

Discourse has been installed as per these instructions. Currently it is relaying outgoing emails through Holly

Notes

Needs to support mailing list functionality. Seems to support send of the messages posted via email, if a little slow. Still need to investigate the following:

  • Reply by email
  • Start topic by email

Using Amazon S3 for uploads and backups. Keeps space used on the server to a minimum.
