Done.

Cast your votes, anything to help developers create Bitshares related projects is great for the community.
Perhaps you didn't see it, but if you have what is your objection to keeping the current SMF forum, locking it down into a read only state, and moving ONLY the user accounts over to Discourse? This was DataSecurityNode's suggestion and I believe it has great merit. I agree that re-registration should not be required. Migrating user accounts will be far easier (tho issues could arise) than then entire forum content.
I think a managed host path should be investigated as well. Even if the costs were not prohibitive I still think we should ONLY migrate user accounts and lock down this SMF forum in a read only state. Although the user base is much larger, I manage an SMF forum myself, and it is not a heavy resource intensive application. It would be worth checking into whether the Discourse hosting might also include hosting for this SMF forum as well. If not I still believe it should be preserved as is in a read only state.
A read only state also reduces the maintenance requirements. As long as a full backup is preserved, and that could be done by several trusted users, should the forum be corrupted or compromised it could be restored from a backup fairly quickly, and speed wouldn't really be an issue in doing so anyway, given it is only a reference library.
Migrating the SMF threads will be wrought with problems and take a significant effort. There are likely to be complications and incompatibilities. All of that can be avoided by just providing access to this SMF from Discourse as a reference.
Just to clarify, to build the latest from source what is the top level repo to clone, https://github.com/bitshares/bitshares-core? If building from a clean slate (no existing src tree locally), is it necessary to update build scripts with anything besides the top level repo URL? If so is that reflected in a script or step by step build instructions?
QuoteAs discussed with Fuzzy, I personally think a group solution for hosting the forum is making the subject unnecessary complex. I would prefer that one trusted active community member is in charge of the forum. That would make it easy in terms of the responsibilities, who to contact and also who is in charge to fix something in case of a problem. I prefer to keep things simple.
How simple will it be if that person can't fulfill their responsibility due to unforeseen circumstances?
No, I think the best model is worker for hosting / server costs, several trusted community members with admin rights. If one admin can't do the job or heaven forbid gets hit by a bus, there are 1 or 2 more that can pick up the slack. I would prefer a primary admin and 2 backup admins.
I do agree with you tho that we probably shouldn't count on buy.org. I like the idea of a blockchain based forum but it may be too much to ask of it to meed our needs upon launch.
I also think that anything we can do to improve communications with the east should be given priority.
I think the Steemit forum experiment failed and killed most of our forum activity. It is harder to discuss an idea or project in a Reddit forum style. Reddit and Steemit are for announcements and short lifetime content. Not for developing complex new features, ideas, and projects.Indeed, plus the 30day thread lock feature kills discussions after a while.
I like how the forum has been cleaned up (lots of old subforums have been moved/hidden), focusing attention on a few important subforums.
I'll try and be more active on bitsharestalk from now on.
Let's abandon cnx/graphene and start working in our own organization/repo!You didn't answer the question.
!
Copy all the issues from cnx/graphene to bitshares/bitshares-2 repo, or remove bitshares/bitshares-2 then move the entire cnx/graphene project (with issue tracker) to bithsares org then rename it to bitshares-2?
I don't think CNX will agree to the latter, as Graphene is still a brand. Just my speculation though.
Sorry for the dumb question but is this something that could run on a Rasp Pi for example? I wouldn't mind having a dedicated one or two up and running 24/7 to help out...
