There is almost no activity on the list and I had to wait many days for a response. It gave me a bad impression of the project, feeling like its dead, while that was not at all the case (especially recently).\r\nAnyway, having a google group, newcomers will probably first post something there before venturing an issue in Github, and they will have the similar experiences. Maybe they'll leave, or go for a different implementation.\r\n\r\nSince there is that little activity it will not 'pollute' the Issue list in github if that is the primary communication medium for the project, and the google group is closed.\r\nGithub offers the same functionality as Google Groups, and arguably a lot more, with a better, more intuitive user experience than clunky Groups (typing code samples, brrr :mask: ).\r\n\r\nThere are a number of great open source products that do everything (i.e. having a _single point of truth_ in marketing speak) from Github, like `react` and `docker`.\r\n\r\nWDYT?\r\n\r\nOptions:\r\n\r\n1. Leave as is, Group is just not that active\r\n2. Leave as is, but ensure the Group is more active, useful\r\n3. Close the Group, everything on Github\r\n4. Create a (very active) shared group (e.g. `graphql-server`) for all graphql server + language implementations\r\n\r\nOther options (e.g. Gitter, Slack)?"}}
