Hi Bastien,

Just one quick comment on a certain part of your email.

Both these things may not come together, or at the same time. For instance, I’m
currently talking to someone on the Doom discord who has a few potential
improvement to Org in the works, and the main barrier to us hearing about them
is their nervousness at sending an email in to the Org ML.

Like it or not, I have the distinct impression that
> to be fine with working by email, the old way.
is a much greater ask than it used to be. Some people may come around with time,
but for getting started at least I think there’s quite a bit of value in having
less “alien” way of getting started. One could argue that by neglecting
non-ML/IRC ways of interacting with the Org project we are accidentally seceding
territory to non-free services like reddit, stackexchange, and co.

All the best,
Timothy
