linked gitter community? #3

Closed magland closed 6 years ago

magland commented 6 years ago

I propose that we give gitter a try (the CaImAn developers use it I believe). We can create a new gitter community attached to this github repo. I have submitted a request to the flatiron github organization admin to allow gitter access to the necessary repo info to perform such a link.

This could be a mechanism for the community to comment on our efforts without doing it through pull requests or github issues.

Shall we give it a try?

It seems that the admins of the flatironinstitute organization would need to do something like the following to allow the link:

neurofinder also used gitter; looked like sensible discussions. So, I'm in favor. (Certainly prefer to slack, since I can't seem to stay onto of that one). We need to chat w/ SCC. Of course, we can always move to a personal github repo, but what we're trying to do is institutional.

I created and linked a gitter room. It was a bit confusing because communities can either be associated with git repo's or git organizations. But of course we want it to be associated with a repo within an organization. The best I could do was to create a community associated with flatironinstitute (organization) and then within it create a room associated with spikesortercomparison repo. I guess this means we can only have a single room under the umbrella of spikesortingcomparison. It would be nice to have individual rooms for metrics, sorting-wrappers, website-design, etc. Not sure what is the best way to organize this.

But there is now a badge on the README of this repo that links to the gitter discussion.
