Over on the welcome page (Welcome to Discuss Kakoune), I tried to outline some goals and non-goals, so let me reference the relevant parts here.
Goals:
- Be the hub of the Kakoune user community.
- Be a place for long-form discussion, time-shifted discussions on everything that doesn’t fit well in a github issue.
- Reduce dependency on the IRC Channel due to it being real-time and lacking a historical record.
Non-Goals:
- Become the homepage of Kakoune. That is kakoune.org.
- Become the hub of the Kakoune developer community. The hub of the developer community should remain the wonderful Github project and specifically the great issues.
- Become a “recent news” type of place, the kakoune reddit can be that – we really hope to foster conversations about kakoune.
So, basically what /u/Screwtapello said.
