Welcome to the Nonsuch Community Test Site! 👋

We are so glad you’re taking a look.

Nonsuch Community Test Site

We are testing the Discourse community software to see if it is an acceptable option to replace Google Groups. Discourse has a rich collection of other features for those who login to the site and a mailing list mode for those that just want to use email.

There are a few terms that will help you understand how things are organized. Postings are organized into Topics and topics are organized into Categories. A new post starts a topic. Any replies to that post are part of that topic (a thread). For email users, this is (almost) just like Google Groups. One huge advantage is that we will be able to take content from these threads and turn them into a searchable knowledge base on the web site, More on that later, (end of sales pitch)

Here are some things you can do to get started:

:speaking_head: Introduce yourself by adding your picture and information about yourself and your interests to your profile. What is one thing you’d like to be asked about?

:open_book: Get to know the community by browsing discussions that are already happening here. When you find a post interesting, informative, or entertaining, use the :heart: to show your appreciation or support!

:handshake: Contribute by commenting, sharing your own perspective, asking questions, or offering feedback in the discussion. Before replying or starting new topics, please review the Community Guidelines.

If you need help or have a suggestion, feel free to ask in #site-feedback or contact the admins.
