 cicalese | And then post a link to the community on mwstake.org and the Phab room. | 15:51:04 |
 darenwelsh | is this what ACL in wikis would be like? | 15:51:07 |
| cicalese | and mediawiki.org | 15:51:12 |
| cicalese | lol | 15:51:22 |
| cicalese | hexmode: I think you were talking about Riot, right, but using Slack terminology? Just to be clear, that's how Riot works, but for Slack, you need to be a member of the team to see the channels. | 15:54:17 |
 hexmode | right | 15:54:35 |
| cicalese | For Riot, you can join a room with no knowledge of the community. | 15:54:43 |
| darenwelsh | so the chat channels are like unlisted YouTube videos? | 15:58:26 |
| darenwelsh | you can view them if someone shares you the URL and you only know about the full set if you're part of that YouTube channel (team) | 15:58:51 |
| hexmode | you can find the public ones via search | 15:59:02 |
| darenwelsh | So if Chick-Fil-A had a #random channel that was public, I could join that channel and goof off with Chick-Fil-A employees ... but I wouldn't be able to see that org's private channels. | 16:00:30 |
| darenwelsh | like #secretseasoningblend | 16:00:49 |
| hexmode | yep | 16:01:39 |
| cicalese | If you click on the Room directory (in the bottom left icon bar), you can search for mwstake and find this room. | 16:03:43 |
| darenwelsh | so it seems beneficial to name channels descriptively for discoverability | 16:04:39 |
 rundg | Can we make money by selling MW Steaks? | 16:04:39 |
| rundg | I sense a branding opportunity | 16:04:56 |
| darenwelsh | and here I can't "dusty stick" freephile :( | 16:05:13 |
| cicalese | I miss emojis | 16:05:37 |
 sabinemelnicki | me too | 16:06:00 |
| hexmode | 🥁 | 16:06:01 |
| rundg | you can swat me with a newspaper 🗞 | 16:06:07 |
| darenwelsh | so instead of naming a channel "meza" it might make sense to name it something like "mediawiki-easy-installer-open-source-project-meza" | 16:06:22 |
| darenwelsh | or can you add meta data to channels used in search? | 16:06:39 |
| hexmode invited  Giphy. | 16:07:00 |
| Giphy joined the room. | 16:07:06 |
| hexmode | !giphy dusty stick | 16:07:24 |
| Giphy | Redacted or Malformed Event | 16:07:31 |
| hexmode | not at all the same | 16:07:57 |
| darenwelsh | it looks like some kind of description is included in search results | 16:08:08 |
