Following the forum thread (Proposal: retiring django-users and django-developers mailing lists), we can now move ahead with updating the website to remove or contextualize references to the django-developers and django-users mailing list. Corresponding Django ticket: Retire django-developers and django-users mailing list django#35908

Tasks

Here are relevant changes I think we should go ahead with:

  • In the footer, remove the Django Users Mailing List item
  • On the Community page, remove the "Mailing Lists" section
  • On Download / How to get Django, replace "be sure to sign up for the django-users mailing list" with "be sure to sign up to the Django Forum"
  • On the homepage, remove the "Stay in the loop" section
  • CoC-related pages

Would this change need to be released at the same time as the Django docs change, or can the two happen independently?

@bmispelon I think independently is good? We’re already in an inconsistent state where our content / docs showcase mailing lists that are under-utilised, so any intermediary change towards resolving that is a worthwhile improvement.

#1805 did almost all the work on this, but during the review we found out that the mailing lists are still mentionned on some CoC-related pages.

Since I wasn't sure whether changing these page required approval from the CoC workgroup, I decided to leave this issue open and ask the workgroup directly.

Excellent! :) Thank you both. I’ve added a "CoC-related pages" line item above.
