Yes, you’re seeing double…
There is a new category called Google Mirror. It is set up to automatically receive a copy of each posting that went to our Google Discussion Group. It has been working for the past few days.
(It seems that these forwarded postings require a little manual intervention to collect the them into threads. The elves will try to keep up with the flow.)
You will not be able to reply to these topics in Discourse. In order to keep from splitting the discussion, replies to topics originating on Google will have to be made the normal way by replying to the email you received from the Google group.
The thinking here is - should we decide to adopt Discourse -
- we will start collecting the Google conversations (as history)
- it may ease the transition during the period when discussions may happen in both places
- people using Discourse will need only check this one site to see what is happening in both groups
This can easily be shut off (or hidden) if it proves to be confusing or of no value.
