De-gitter-ize #136

Closed Trott closed 6 years ago

Trott commented 8 years ago

We have IRC channels and Gitter rooms too. It seems like for most (all?) projects in nodejs, use of Gitter by heavily-involved-in-the-project folks and moderation of Gitter seem to be low.

We would probably be doing everyone a favor by either:

removing Gitter links from README and other docs in favor of IRC links

OR:

making sure we have people that are active in the Gitter rooms and that they have any necessary moderation tools

are you referring to all node repos?

@tentakel asked:

All repos in the nodejs organization, yes.

ghost commented 8 years ago

@Trott yeah, i agree. it'd be ideal if there was a service that provided badges that link to a tutorial on how to join an irc room (since irc is more active in this case).

@tentakel We could probably link to Freenode's web chat quite easily (https://webchat.freenode.net)

@nathan7 one step further ==> https://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=node-dev

edef1c commented 8 years ago

@thealphanerd yup, that was my intention, just a little too tired to figure out the URL schema :heart:

MylesBorins commented 8 years ago

I've 100% spent more than 5 minutes in the past trying to remember it... guessed right quickly this time

mcdonnelldean commented 8 years ago

Are the Gitter channels still being used (albeit outside of heavily involved users). I spend a lot of time on Gitter and I'm happy to help feed users to IRC to make the transition easier.
