I love that too! [quote=“clay, post:3, topic:39849, full:true”]  
I usually refer people to the following list or use it for bullets when I’m trying to get people to use Discourse:

> **[What is Discourse?](https://www.discourse.org/about)**
>
> Discourse is the 100% open source discussion platform built for the next decade of the Internet.
