I think it’d be great to enable sign-on via Github/Google.

Done for Google. For github I need one of the Owners of the JuliaLang organisation. Important to not that it is not a one or other choice. As long as it is the same e-mail address they link to the same account.

How do I enable this on GitHub?

Both or either? Some people will really want to do everything with email, but it’s a little unclear to me how good an idea even trying to support that is since it may be such a limited way to experience the Discourse forums.

Just FYI, this also probably means the end of Gmane/NNTP support, as I don’t think the Discourse mail-out format is compatible / Gmane supports subscribing to Discourse forums (definitely not straight away, as the service is still getting restored ).

Ok, I will write a post explaining how to use discourse purely per e-mail and activate mail-in for registered users. As an example you should be able to send an e-mail to julialang+dev@discoursemail.com to create a new topic. Update: See Discourse as a mailing list
