Migration to GitHub Discussions
Posted: Thu Aug 25, 2022 5:00 am
Hi everyone!
After close to 9 years, the MicroPython team has decided to close this forum in favour of moving to GitHub Discussions.
https://github.com/orgs/micropython/discussions
There's a few key features we really like about GitHub Discussions:
- Much tighter integration with the rest of the development process which is all hosted on GitHub. We can move Discussions to/from Issues, etc, as well as @ members and reference PRs/Issues.
- GitHub Discussions has many more features for posts and replies. Emoji responses, accepted answers, threaded replies, etc.
- GitHub Discussions uses the much more familiar Markdown syntax for writing posts, especially for code snippets (which also support syntax highlighting).
- It's less maintenance for the MicroPython team (--> more time to work on features and fixes!).
- Easier account signup (and for many people who already use GitHub, no new account required at all).
I'd like to make a special shout out to all the people who have contributed to this forum over the years, in particular pythoncoder, dhylands, Roberthh, deshipu, kevinkk525, OutoftheBOTS_, davef, stijn, jickster, mcauser who have made a combined 19289 posts! There's a huge wealth of knowledge here, and it won't be going away. We will continue to allow new posts and replies here for the next couple of weeks, but then we will mark the forum as read-only. In the future we will investigate moving the content over to GitHub.
Hope to see you at GitHub Discussions!

. But on my old ipad air somethings not playing right with github. I cannot login, I cannot change from double spacing from single spacing and a circle keeps wiring around. Maybe something to do with the tablet being too old to take the latest IOS. Maybe a good excuse for a nice new ipad pro 
(everything is ok with Github on my desktop, but not so good for armchair reading)
