this is what I found :

https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-moderation-guide/63116
https://meta.discourse.org/t/moderator-permission-set/6307/3
https://meta.discourse.org/t/admin-vs-moderator-vs-leader/89008
https://meta.discourse.org/t/admin-versus-moderator/56750
https://meta.discourse.org/t/moderator-and-trust-level/52244

Note : we can take advantage of this situation to clean user table... or keep then in a stage area, suspend or Aproved (only user that never use the site)

Question: do we want to migrate users who are moderators to moderators in discourse, or do we simply start them all from zero and let them gain the trust levels? Since we've moved instead of migrated, I vote we start from zero again. Manually moving moderators over will be quite a task.

Yes, personally I voted for this too, take in count that Moderator Never is Adquared is assigned by hand.. that not happened in user trust levet from 0..4

Altought take in mind that we have a multilingual site so maybe we need a moderator for each language... WDYT?

Regards.,

I expect we can have a few admins for each language to start with as we did for askbot, and then let the trust levels take care of the rest.

Please note that the tracker ticket (task) is the high level task that is blocked by these smaller tickets (task). So, we can close these, but not the tracker until all the tickets blocking it are closed.

Note that the getting started guide says: These defaults are safe, but note that while in “bootstrap mode” after you set up your site, all new users will be granted trust level 1 until you reach 50 users.!

So, do we need to set up mods or do we just let the system do its thing?

let's the site do its jobs

Regards.,

The different community members that have volunteered to help with their respective langauages will be set up as mods as the "minimum set" to help manage things at the start. Then, we will let the site do its thing. Closing this now. I'll update mods as we have the languages set up.
