We would like to name an official chatroom for cl-ana #25

Closed kat-co closed 5 years ago

kat-co commented 5 years ago

Hey all! I've spoken with @ghollisjr, and we would like to name a place users can go for live help/discussion of cl-ana. I thought I would open an issue to solicit feedback so we can get something going.

Here are the options I'm aware of:

My personal recommendation and preference would be Matrix. I used to be a die-hard IRC user (and I also still idle there using Matrix's IRC bridge), but Matrix is really nice for a couple reasons:

EDIT: I forgot about Discord.

It's been 10 days without anyone expressing any preference.

To reiterate, the purpose of a chat room is so that people can get closer to real-time help as they're discovering and learning about cl-ana. While it is not fair to expect @ghollisjr to be the only one fielding questions, at the moment, my impression is that he has the most knowledge about cl-ana. To this end, because no one has expressed a preference, I'm thinking we should probably see if @ghollisjr is willing to idle in a chatroom, and if so, which technology would be convenient for him.

EDIT: It ocurred to me that it's not only getting help, it's also making decisions faster. E.g., I have some code I'd like to contribute, but I'd like to discuss which package the code should live in. That can obviously be done via issues, but in the early stages it sometimes helps to have quick back-and-forth.

I look every so often, but my opinion is that whatever Gary would support, go with. The rest can adjust. Unless another developer steps up.

I'm trying out Matrix; I've created a room titled "cl-ana":

Cool, thanks @ghollisjr! It looks like you have permissions on the room set to "invite only". To fix this, from within Riot, you can:

  1. Go to room settings
  2. "Security and Privacy"
  3. "Who can access this room?" -> Anyone who knows the room's link, {including/apart from} guests.

Also, we may need to give it a public address:

  1. Room settings
  2. General
  3. Room Address #cl-ana:matrix.org.

Also, should we reflect this somewhere in the README?

ghollisjr commented 5 years ago

Ah hopefully it is fixed now; I put a link in the README and will update with the public address: #cl-ana:matrix.org

Sorry all; here is a link to a properly configured matrix chatroom: https://matrix.to/#/!cANztuGawRmRSdyLhu:matrix.org?via=matrix.org
