Hi, I just wanted to paste the link to https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Contact_channels into a message to a newbie and checked if the content of page is up-to-date. By checking the page some questions arised:
The page lists three XMPP channels. I checked if the English and the Austrian are still in use. The English channel is out of use. The last message is from 2016-11-22. There is currently about *one* message per month. When I joined today, one other user was online. (#osm at irc.oftc.net has 250 users and is active based on my own observations) I was unable to check Austrian channel. My account at jabber.ccc.de is not able to join, I get an error 403. I did not check the Slovakian channel. Are there any objections against moving the English channel into a section called "formerly used communication channels"? The page also lists a Teamspeak server. Because I avoid to install proprietary software on my computer, I cannot test if it is in use. Are there any objections against moving it to the section "formerly used communication channels"? I have never heard of the use of Teamspeak for communication inside the OpenStreetMap project. I will drop a note on the Talk page of that wiki page for those people who are interested in that page but do not read this mailing list. Best regards Michael -- Per E-Mail kommuniziere ich bevorzugt GPG-verschlüsselt. (Mailinglisten ausgenommen) I prefer GPG encryption of emails. (does not apply on mailing lists)
