Should we consider replacing Google Groups (https://groups.google.com/g/nsubstitute) with GitHub discussions? (for example: https://github.com/xunit/xunit/discussions)

Because:

Proposal:

  • Enable GitHub discussions for this repo
  • Move relevant parts
  • Update the links on nsubstitute.github.io
  • Remove the Google Groups

Definitely. The google group is deprecated.

I've cleaned up the spam on the group, made it read-only, and updated the welcome message to point to our issues page.

Last time I looked at github discussions i wasn't sure what happened with messages previously posted via the teams feature. I'll try to take another look over the weekend. (If you know any details about this please share!)

with messages previously posted via the teams feature.

What are "teams" in this context?

There used to be teams discussions. From GH Enterprise docs (but still relevant i think):

Team discussions will be deprecated in GitHub Enterprise Server 3.13 in favor of GitHub Discussions. You can transfer your existing team discussions to a repository's discussions by using a migration tool that allows team admins to migrate both public and private team discussions.

I didn't want to transfer existing teams posts to discussions as it would be make public messages posted with the presumption of privacy so would need to get permissions from everyone.

The discussion is not the same as the github team messages. :)

I really liked the private chat in the github teams. Really sad it has been removed.

I understand now the question. The migration is a manual action:

Just looking at the example of xunit discussions before enabling this, and wondering if we're better off encouraging people to use stackoverflow for these kind of questions. Due to the relatively small size of the community that would probably be the best way to get a fast response. WDYT? 🤔
