Ok so here’s more info (as I discover it): - https://gitter.im/xwiki/public this open to everyone to join - https://gitter.im/xwiki is private to all members of the xwiki org in github, acting like a room for xwiki committers - https://gitter.im/xwiki-contrib is private to all members of the xwiki-contrib org in github, acting like a room for xwiki-contrib committers
Thus we should use the https://gitter.im/xwiki/public room as much as possible since that’s the public one.
