These are notes and directions for using Discourse as a communication platform for teams.
General Tips
- Make sure everyone uses it, and knows how to do all the things expected of them. Encouraging questions in a specific support category is useful.
- Explain to folks how to use the email interface, it can be helpful to folks coming from listserv.
- Figure out how much space you’ll need to store files, and double it.
- Make sure you understand the privacy settings, but also the users; you don’t want them to be surprised by a reveal.
Discussions
- Running a project or team using Discourse (instead of Slack, Trello, etc…)?

Questions
