Convert mailing list discussions to put on the website

Here’s how you can help!

JSONify list threads

When you find something relevant in the mailing list that should become a data point:

1. Create a file in /points that matches the mailing list thread (Please read the documentation about the JSON format for points in /points/README.md)
2. Run 'node buildIndexes.js' inside the repository directory
3. Make sure the service(s) you reference in the points file exist as a json file in /services, and the topic you assign should exist in /topics

(If you can't get the script to run, then just only create the points files, commit and push, and we’ll debug it afterwards.)

Progress

Please put your name next to the ML thread you are JSONifying, then we can work through the list together. when done, strike it through, with a note 'done' behind it.
