    <p>Hi,</p>
    <p>My 5c.  Killing the dev list is a bad idea.</p>
    <p>Most developers could not care about having to poll forums.  It
      also means that stuff that would previously get an audience will
      now get none.</p>
    <p>github discussions are better than forums at least.</p>
    <p>May I inquire as to the problem you're having with the ML? 
      Perhaps I might be able to assist ...<br>
    </p>
    <p>Kind regards,<br>
      Jaco<br>

      <div dir="ltr">Greetings all,<br>
        <br>
        Over the past few years, the use of the Asterisk mailing lists
        has diminished, with far more conversation happening on the
        Asterisk community forums[1]. The state of email, to ensure
        reliable delivery, has also gotten more complicated - emails get
        caught by spam filters, etc.. To continue the mailing lists
        would require a huge time and resource investment, for minimal
        use.<br>
        <br>
        To that end, we’ve decided to discontinue the mailing lists
        effective February 1st, 2024.<br>
        <br>
        This means the following:<br>
        <br>
        1. Sending and receiving mailing list emails will no longer be
        possible.<br>
        2. The list archives, however, will remain available.<br>
        <br>
        We need to decide the future of the asterisk-dev mailing list;
        specifically, where to hold discussions in the future. There are
        a few options:<br>
        <br>
        1. A “Development” category exists on <a
          href="https://community.asterisk.org/" moz-do-not-send="true"
          class="moz-txt-link-freetext">https://community.asterisk.org/</a>
        already that can be used.<br>
        2. We can use GitHub discussions, which keeps things with the
        GitHub project.<br>
        3. We can use a hosted mailing list elsewhere.<br>
        <br>
        We suggest option #2, since it keeps things with the GitHub
        project, which is where everything development-related happens
        now regardless. This has been set up and enabled already.<br>
        <br>
        If you have any input, now is the time to state it.<br>
        <br>
        Cheers,<br clear="all">
