 darenwelsh | so how did I get into this channel before joining the group? I'm confused. Was the channel named something else yesterday? like other than mwstake? | 15:42:03 |
 hexmode | "General" is what is displayed for #mwstake-general:matrix.org and #enterprisemediawiki:matrix.org | 15:42:23 |
 cicalese | channel=room | 15:42:49 |
| darenwelsh | wut .... those are aliases? | 15:42:51 |
| darenwelsh | so is there an enterprisemediawiki team or group or whatever? | 15:43:12 |
| cicalese | community | 15:43:37 |
| cicalese | but it doesn't appear to be very useful | 15:43:44 |
| cicalese | rooms do not need to be grouped into a community, but they can be | 15:44:02 |
| hexmode | #mwstake-MEZA:matrix.org is the primary name. I added it and made it primary after creating #enterprisemediawiki | 15:44:11 |
| cicalese | ^ he meant #mwstake-general:matrix.org | 15:44:55 |
| darenwelsh | can someone make a Venn diagram? | 15:45:10 |
| hexmode |

Room. The Group is +mwstake:matrix.org

 sabinemelnicki | omg, now it's a shame emoji reactions don't work yet. ;) | 15:45:31 |
| cicalese | group=community | 15:46:02 |
| hexmode | :grim | 15:46:10 |
| hexmode | 😬 | 15:46:21 |
| cicalese | I think they used to be called groups, but now they are communities in the user interface. We want them to be the same as as slack team, but they are not. | 15:46:25 |
| cicalese | slack channel = riot room | 15:46:57 |
| cicalese | slack team > riot community (group) | 15:47:06 |
| darenwelsh | did you mean to use "greater than"? | 15:48:03 |
| cicalese | yes | 15:48:08 |
| cicalese | because slack teams are more useful than riot communities | 15:48:29 |
| cicalese | but, they are sort of equivalent grouping constructs | 15:48:46 |
| cicalese | I think for the moment we can ignore the community | 15:49:19 |
| darenwelsh | I guess Slack's hierarchy is just more intuitive. You have to be invited to the team to be able to view and participate in that team's channels. But I don't understand riot's structure. | 15:49:24 |
| cicalese | Right. I think maybe they started with rooms then tacked on communities? | 15:49:50 |
| cicalese | But, with all of that being said, I think we should create several rooms. | 15:50:11 |
| hexmode | you have to be invited to see the teams channels, but the channel permissions are independent of the team | 15:50:14 |
| hexmode | so you can join a channel w/ no knowledge of the team | 15:50:32 |
| cicalese | Since the html part of the community appears to be visible to all, per Sabine's screenshot, we could list the rooms in HTML there. | 15:50:41 |
