@mightyiam:matrix.org@mightyiam:matrix.orgHey, I came to understand that https://discourse.nixos.org is managed by Flying Circus. And that any changes to it must be requested by the foundation, because the foundation is considered the client to whom that service is rendered. Perhaps that authority could be delegated?07:43:33
@k900:0upti.meK900To who, and why?07:44:20
@mightyiam:matrix.org@mightyiam:matrix.orgYou mean to imply that such a suggestion is only practical if it comes with a candidate attached? As to why: I will assume that you understand why and are asking this for the sake of increasing transparency in public discussion. Because such things are not within the scope of the board.09:11:34
@k900:0upti.meK900I mean, I don't see any immediate issues with the current arrangement, and as part of the moderation team, I have obvious reservations about who should have access to Discourse controls09:14:54
@k900:0upti.meK900Especially when Discourse still does not have audit logging09:15:44
@k900:0upti.meK900 Also, honestly, things being "not within the scope of the board" has... historically not been much of a concern for this community, especially when the service is basically operated for us 09:17:48
@arianvp:matrix.orgArianisn’t the moderation team defacto the discourse admin?09:31:19
@k900:0upti.meK900The moderation team has admin access on the frontend, but no access to the deployment itself09:32:55
@mightyiam:matrix.org@mightyiam:matrix.orgWell, I wouldn't want to bother the board with a suggestion to add a plugin or tweak an option.09:34:54
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisil Shahar "Dawn" Or (mightyiam) https://github.com/NixOS/org/blob/main/doc/discourse.md 09:41:14
