Summary

For a community project, it's important to have a place to talk and organize work. GitHub is great but a bit too formal, and it would be valuable to have a place to get help getting started with the code base, ask questions, get feedback... I suggest Discord, as we have conducted successful experiments with the libvlc server.

Intended Use Case

  • "I'd like to help with the code base, is anybody working with feature X ?"
  • "Is there anything I can help with ?"
  • "I tried the implementation of feature X, but it doesn't seem to work in that case, is that a known issue? Did I do something wrong?"
  • ...

Agree. I will start preparing this option.

Discord/Slack are not opensource. To align better with this effort I think @mattermost should be considered.

I have created a maui-linux room on Matrix: https://matrix.to/#/#maui-linux:matrix.org -- I hope this is acceptable for most of you for the start. If you think another platform would be more suitable, go ahead. The more the merrier! (But I personally think it should be an open platform.) At some point we could do a pull request with active channels in the README.md to make them somewhat official.

I don't have any working experience with this, but have you considered https://flock.com ?

Hmm, free for teams < 20... Javier seem inclined to power up the team tools with the help of the .NET Foundation. Until then, I'll stick with the matrix room for now.

I really would like a little web conference, perhaps after the official MAUI has been released. By then, maybe also lytico has more time again. I really would like to see him together with Javier having a video call and talking about maui-linux and what's the best way to get to a point where one can start to effectively contribute to the project...
