[ros-users] [Discourse.ros.org] [Site Feedback] Informal development discussions

[Josh Langsfeld]

I've been thinking that the main thing missing from this site compared to other open-source discussion boards is a place to have conversations around the overall design and development of ROS. ROS seems to be a bit unique in that the development is spread over so many dozens of repositories that it's difficult to have generic conversations in GitHub issues.

There is the NextGen category, but that seems hyper-focused on the new ROS2 libraries. There's so much more of ROS that I think could benefit from having a nice centralized place to air out questions of old design decisions and proposals for medium-to-large-scales changes. It could also be a great way to get out requests for help to do things that willing volunteers just don't know about because they don't follow the right repository.

Thoughts?
