 darenwelsh | oh no ... and I can't collapse it | 16:08:27 |
 cicalese | lol | 16:08:35 |
 rundg | !wikipedia "dusty stick" | 16:08:37 |
| cicalese | darenwelsh: I suggested ^^ making a general installer room, since I'd like to bring together all of the folks working on installers to create one Grand Unified Installer To Rule Them All. But, in the meantime, it might still make sense to have a meza channel to discuss meza bugs/features and the like. | 16:09:45 |
| darenwelsh | i like the idea of having both | 16:10:11 |
| cicalese | we really need a random room | 16:10:15 |
| darenwelsh | why? | 16:10:47 |
| darenwelsh | what would youpost there and not here? | 16:10:49 |
| cicalese | I sort of feel like we need a governance or admin room for all of this organizational stuff, but maybe the need for that will die down once this gets rolling. | 16:11:16 |
| cicalese | I would think that this room would be for general MediaWiki-related discussion. | 16:11:49 |
| darenwelsh | but ... that goes back to the questions about the team/group/whatever-it-is-called ... in the URL I see "mwstake-general" so I assume this is general chat about mwstake things. | 16:12:40 |
| darenwelsh | maybe we should just remove the general channel and make channels have useful names | 16:13:11 |
 hexmode | Would you like it to be mediawiki-general? | 16:13:12 |
| darenwelsh | so have #mediawiki-general and #mwstake-group-random | 16:13:32 |
| cicalese | So, #mwstake meeting announcements in #mwstake-general? | 16:13:38 |
| hexmode | I'm going to let you guys hash this out ... Got work to do. | 16:13:50 |
| cicalese | The only reason I think they should all start with mwstake is that it is a unique string that would allow all of the rooms for our virtual community to be found. | 16:14:24 |
| cicalese | That being said, there is a need for a mediawiki room. | 16:14:33 |
| darenwelsh | right ... and if it is prepended by "mwstake" will that confuse people unaware of the mwstake group? | 16:14:56 |
| cicalese | right | 16:15:07 |
| darenwelsh | I think discussion about what mwstake members are working on deserves channels with "mwstake" in the name. but a channel about mediawiki should be named just that. | 16:15:43 |
| cicalese |
- #mediawiki-general
- #mediawiki-installers
- #mwstake-general
- #mwstake-random
- #mwstake-meza (??)
- #mwstake-showcase-wiki
| 16:17:30 |
| cicalese | Thoughts? | 16:17:35 |
| darenwelsh | add #mediawiki-extensions ?
add #mediawiki-conferences ? | 16:18:45 |
| cicalese | sure! | 16:19:05 |
| cicalese | And, the HTML pane that only @hexmode can edit on the community page can have links to all of them. | 16:19:33 |
| cicalese | 
Download image.png | 16:19:38 |
| cicalese | And, we can post links to the community page on mediawiki.org, mwstake.org, and Phabricator. | 16:20:20 |
| darenwelsh | how will WMFers feel about riot competing with (also known as "complementing") IRC? | 16:21:12 |
| cicalese | Better than they feel about Slack competing with IRC | 16:21:46 |
