Time frame: June is SMHI top choice, also open to other months

Discuss using of GitHub Discussion forums

Set up a GitHub organisation forum (i.e. not specific to any repo, although hosted in one of them) for questions and announcements (i.e. not proposals to change documents or website), rename the discuss repo as vocabulary and move the vocab documents (standard name table etc) into it. This is a less radical trial introduction of a forum than proposed by @DocOtak, who suggested that everything should be raised in a forum in the first instance. This way, we could get some experience with it, and tidy up the use of the repos, as discussed last time. We could do what he suggested later, if there’s a general preference for it. (See issue #440)
- Replace current functions of Discuss issues except for standard names suggestions
- Andrew suggested that all changes should start as discussions in Forum
- ACTION: Jonathan will propose making this change

AOB

CF 1.11 release coming up (this week, before AGU)
