In my opinion, for better or worse, this is still the mailing lists until something better has replaced them. For me I am happy to use discourse or any other platform that is agreed by the PSC by direct decision or by putting it to community vote.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">2) Which chat / other platforms we allow. In my opinion we should be really open and allow communities to gather on whichever platforms they want to, be it FB, Telegram, Gitter, Revolt, Stack Exchange etc. We basically have no control over this anyway and being open means also tolerating the fact that people assemble and form subcommunities on platforms that we don't necessarily prefer.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">3) The status of 'official' chat platforms and their discoverability. For these, we should grant 'official / endorsed' status, have them listed on our web site, they should have clear contact points for moderators, be allowed to use the world 'Official' in their name, be generally limited to one per platform (e.g. the Official Facebook QGIS Group) and enforce things like our code of conduct and diversity rules.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">I think trying to police or control things beyond this is largely pointless as we cannot as a project dictate how and where people choose to collaborate.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">Regards</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">Tim</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sat, Nov 5, 2022 at 3:18 PM Johannes Kröger (WhereGroup) via QGIS-Developer <<a href="mailto:qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org">qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Sorry if this was covered before, I googled "qgis revolt gitter" and got <br>
no hits so maybe it was not:<br>
<br>
Apart from IRC and Matrix there is also Gitter, with four rooms <br>
currently at <a href="https://gitter.im/qgis/home" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://gitter.im/qgis/home</a><br>
<br>
Anita said a while ago that those are actually indexed on Google.<br>
<br>
It seems to have a similar "richness" in terms of embedded images, slick <br>
browser interface etc compared to Revolt.<br>
<br>
Does Revolt bring significant benefits compared to Gitter? Probably more <br>
control about rooms and such? Maybe also the means of logging in are bad <br>
at Gitter, I see Github, Gitlab, Twitter and Matrix, so all fairly <br>
involved, nerdy choices.<br>
