We measure Discourse’s success as an open source project by one simple metric — are Discourse communities working? Is your community working? We recently interviewed **Brian Adams of OpenROV** to discuss how they use Discourse and get some specifics about what is – and isn’t – working for their community.

I should also mention that @erlend_sh put all these questions together and really made this happen.

I had talked with @badevguru a while ago about possibly blogging their story, because _open source freakin’ underwater robots are awesome_, but Erlend was the catalyst that pushed things forward.

We hope to make this perhaps a bi-monthly series to highlight the cool stuff Discourse communities are doing!

Very awesome indeed! 🙂

Now, that Auth0 Single Sign On issue there sounds quite big. Did discourse evolve from there since then?

Nice read, enjoyed it.

I can see my feature request got a mention… But still has no likes _sad puppy_

> It would be nice to see the number of times a YouTube onebox embed had been clicked on (“played”). Considering that YouTube onebox embeds in Discourse are just simple links. e.g. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siMFORx8uO8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siMFORx8uO8) Which embeds as: [image] Note the title of the video is actually a link and if clicked goes to YouTube. I believe both of the following should be counted: Clicking the Play button in the centre Clicking the Title link A simple mock up would be: [image] Although thi…

Excellent post @badevguru. Your story sounds eerily close to what we went through transitioning our site and forums… we have yet to implement the SSO but it’s high on the list.

Your theme is [close enough to ours](http://forum.driveonwood.com) that I’m gonna toss ya a line of CSS. This fixes long username overflow on the topic list.
