+==Status==

+==History==
+=== 2017 ===
+Discourse was initially trialed at PS:One around 2017 with mixed results and generally low adoption, in part because of the existence of the original [[Google Groups]]. The original instance of Discourse was turned off on 2017-05-04. The backup of the data/messages in the forum is being held by the CTO. In 2017 the DNS entry for the then-idle Discourse instance was removed.
+=== 2019 ===
+The board elected to adopt a new Discourse to allow members to communicate more effectively, differentiate content, allow for easier management of members and moderation in the group.
