This may have been mentioned before, but there is a Discourse instance at community.fsfe.org.
Hmmm, no there is not, only a broken page. Anyway, if it existed when I proposed my services last year, nobody mentioned it. If it is more recent I find it surprising and upsetting that I have to learn it from the general discussion list. FSFE's community outreach has been, in my experience, suboptimal -- a cool-down euphemism for catastrophic.
The Discourse instance, which I think I've explained multiple times on this list, has been set up by volunteers. It is still in a testing status so it's rather senseless for the FSFE to promote it.
Of course you are invited to help them [^1] and help the FSFE and its community to try new communication tools.
Best, Max
Could we have a dedicated sub-domain for anything like this that is running as a test?
Using a domain like "community.fsfe.org" runs the risk that it is perceived as or used as if it were a supported service.
Renaming it to community.test.fsfe.org or community.fsfe-test.org or something similar would be a good idea.
Furthermore, management of the subdomains for testing (call it "lab support") could be delegated to a wider group than management of the main fsfe.org domain (if we consider that to be "production support")
