Description

[Myk Melez [:myk] [@mykmelez]]

Sadly, Mozilla decided to end its work on the PluotSorbet project shortly after we initially publicized it, and the PluotSorbet discussion forum (which was created in bug 1128205 and renamed in bug 1176045) never had an opportunity to become a locus of conversation about the project.

Like the project itself, the discussion forum is now moribund, and there are no conversations in it to archive.  So we should delete the forum and remove its entry from the list of discussion forums <https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/forums/>.

It looks like this is still the case.  Did you ever hear back from Google about it?

Ah, ok.  Strangely, the forum appears to be read-write on Google Groups: the New Topic button is clickable, it displays a form, and you can fill it out and press a Post button, after which Google Groups claims it is "Posting topic…"  But then you return to the forum page, and the topic isn't there.  So the forum is indeed read-only, although it seems to be read-write.

Thanks Usul and Gerv for removing the forum!
