In case you join/wanna try this Wikimedia Chat option, please join the India channel https://chat.wmcloud.org/wikimedia/channels/india There is also an mlwiki channel, I see: https://chat.wmcloud.org/wikimedia/channels/mlwiki There is also a Bangla channel. I am unsure why it is currently not showing in the channel list (is it because of Indic-script in the channel title?) https://chat.wmcloud.org/wikimedia/channels/bangla Thanks Tito Dutta ---------- Forwarded message --------- প্রেরক: Amir Sarabadani <ইমেল লোকানো হয়েছে> Date: রবি, ৩০ আগস্ট, ২০২০ তারিখে ৫:৩০ AM টায় Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Wikimedia Chat To: Wikimedia Mailing List <wikimedi...@lists.wikimedia.org <mailto:wikimedi...@lists.wikimedia.org> >, wikitech-l <wikitec...@lists.wikimedia.org <mailto:wikitec...@lists.wikimedia.org> > Hello, Due to the current situation, there are more and more collaborations happening online instead. and now you can see Wikimedia-related discussion groups in Slack, Discord, Telegram, Facebook, and many more. Besides being scattered and inaccessible to people who don't have accounts in those platforms (for privacy reasons for example), these platforms use proprietary and closed-source software, are outside Wikimedia infrastructure and some harvest our personal data for profit. IRC on freenode is a good alternative but it lacks basic functionalities of a modern chat platform. So we created Wikimedia Chat, a mattermost instance in Wikimedia Cloud. Compared to IRC, you have: * Ability to scrollback and read messages when you were offline * Push notification and email notification * You don't need to get a cloak to hide your IP from others * Proper support for sharing media * Two factor authentication * A proper mobile app support * Ability to add custom emojis (yes, it's extremely important) * Profile pictures * Ability to ping everyone with @here * much much more. You can use Wikimedia Chat by going to https://chat.wmcloud.org, anyone can make an account. This is part of Wikimedia Social suite [1], the oher similar project is "Wikimedia Meet". [2] Some notes: * This is done in my volunteer capacity and has been maintained by a group of volunteers. If you're willing to join the team (either technical or enforcing CoC, kicking out spammers, other daily work), drop me a message. * Privacy policy of Wikimedia Cloud applies: https://w.wiki/aQW * As a result, all messages older than 90 days get automatically deleted. * As a Wikimedia Cloud project, all of discussions, private and public are covered by Code of conduct in technical spaces: https://w.wiki/AK$ Hope that would be useful for you, if you encounter any technical issues, file a bug in the phabricator.
