Some of you might already have seen that we have a shiny new forum
now.[1] And, of course, there is a part of it dedicated to providing
support for relay operators as well.[2] Check it out and feel free to
contribute!
Without the direct link it is a bit hard to find the relay section,
without reading all the smaller subsection names since it is a bit unexpected to find it under
"Support
User support for Tor in English. [...]"
if the "tor-talk" ML can be mapped to "General Discussion"
maybe it would be nice to have the "tor-relays" replacement on the same level?
nit: I would find "Relay Operations" more appealing than the current "Relay Operator" name (singular).
I've to admit I'm a bit surprised the torproject has chosen
the Discourse Saas option instead of running it on a system
where you control what logs are stored and for how long. https://forum.torproject.org/privacy

Following Discourse recommendation, we're starting with a few
categories and subcategories. Adding too many categories before using
would look like a complex maze and making hard to people ask a simple
question.
This week we're soft releasing the forum[1] and adjusting some settings.
We're officially announcing the Tor Forum next week on our Blog.

If people here enjoy the Tor Forum, we can add a new entire 'Relay
Community' category and more subcategories (Good/Bad ISPs, Bridges[2],
Exits, meetups...). Discourse is very flexible and we can move old topics to new
categories and so on.

At the moment, we've prefered to follow other projects path[1] and use
Discourse free hosting for open source projects.
The new forum works fine with Tor Browser and/or you can enable the 'mailing list
mode'[2] and never interact with Discourse web interface.
