<br>
I’m reaching out to you about a recurring topic that came up during the PTG last week again.<br>
<br>
While the community is actively using the mailing list, it is not always the best platform, as it doesn’t allow for more synchronous chat. Contributors at the event had a growing interest in finding a way to provide the opportunity for more synchronous communication to capture the project teams’ chatters, and enable newcomers to reach out and start to participate.<br>
<br>
Challenges:<br>
* Tooling: People raised that while it is an open protocol, IRC still doesn’t feel inclusive due to its simplicity.<br>
* Format: The current one-channel setup doesn’t feel efficient and comfortable, since people need to address everyone in the channel with every topic they have a question or comment about.<br>
<br>
<br>
Proposal to move forward:<br>
* Tooling: The preferred tool in last week’s conversation was Matrix - <a href="https://matrix.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://matrix.org</a><br>
- It is an open tool, which ensures continued access to the platform and its features<br>
- It is more modern than IRC<br>
<br>
* Format: The idea came up to create multiple channels for the StarlingX project<br>
- We can keep the all-community channel<br>
- We can create channels for each project team, that are more topic specific<br>
- We also have the option to create a channel for newcomers, which could include troubleshooting type of conversations as well<br>
<br>
<br>
In order to identify next steps, please share your feedback about the proposal above. Ie: What do you think about Matrix? Would you be more comfortable using a chat tool with the more fine grained configuration of having multiple channels?<br>
<br>
Thanks and Best Regards,<br>
