[11:44:18] <Flexman>	 samuell: did we talk about that IRC usage?
[12:21:42] <samuell>	 Hi Flexman
[12:21:52] <Flexman>	 hi
[12:22:11] <Flexman>	 i was going to write a mail now... I think we discussed that IRC vs Slack etc. issue
[12:22:15] <samuell>	 Aha
[12:22:29] <samuell>	 Yeah, I remember we talked some about that, yea
[12:22:31] <Flexman>	 and no worries i'm not going to bring it all up again
[12:22:35] <samuell>	 hehe
[12:23:11] <Flexman>	 but i found a  nice way that can help getting people on IRC who might be scared of the "oldstyle" interface and prefer something like slack
[12:23:16] <Flexman>	 have you heared about Matrix?
[12:23:39] <samuell>	 For ref I see I send my mail to smw-dev on 2017-07-27
[12:23:47] <samuell>	 Hmm, no ...
[12:24:05] <samuell>	 Sounds interesting though :) ... link?
[12:24:12] <Flexman>	 yeh was i while ago
[12:24:25] <Flexman>	 well the best matrix messenger is http://riot.im
[12:25:07] <Flexman>	 so all you have to get is a matrix accound there then you could join this IRC channel with /join #freenode_#semantic-mediawiki:matrix.org
[12:25:07] <samuell>	 Aha
[12:25:42] <samuell>	 niec
[12:25:45] <Flexman>	 Matrix/Riot is a messenger like Slack/Whatsapp/Telegram etc. but it has a good IRC port
[12:27:06] <Flexman>	 also you have the option (if someone wants to support this) that you create a matrix channel for semantic-mediawiki and bridge it to IRC
[12:28:04] <Flexman>	 you can also drag and drop pictures etc in the channel, matrix users will see the picture, IRC users will get a link...
[12:28:31] <Flexman>	 i think this could help getting users together (in case if there are more...).
[12:31:11] <samuell>	 I'll definitely try it for myself if nothing else ...
[12:32:52] <samuell>	 Ok, so a bridged semantic-mediawiki matrix can basically be set up by anyone?
[12:33:01] <samuell>	 s/matrix/matrix channel/
[12:33:47] <Flexman>	 bridged matrix channel will need an OP here to acknowledge that
[12:34:41] <Flexman>	 that means you set up the channel in the matrix and set the bridge up there. and a channel OP here has to confrom that by sending "yes" to MatrixBridge (which is an IRC bot)
[12:35:38] <samuell>	 Right
[12:35:58] <samuell>	 So then, I guess optimally someone in the SMW "core team" would set this up
[12:36:59] <Flexman>	 yes
[12:37:23] <Flexman>	 should i send this to the mailing list, too?
[12:37:38] <samuell>	 I guess that is the best place to discuss it
[12:37:54] <Flexman>	 ok
[12:40:53] <samuell>	 Not everyone here online all the time ... (which was the original problem I brought up, haha)
[12:46:53] <samuell>	 But this seems to be a much better solution, for sure
[12:48:04] <Flexman>	 i think it has the advantage that people who are used to more modern things can use it like they are used to. but they will also end up in IRC then.
[13:03:59] <samuell>	 Exactly
[13:04:09] <samuell>	 And not locking up chat history with some commercial company
[13:04:26] <samuell>	 Not exclusively at least :)
[13:39:39] <Flexman>	 samuell: yes... the fine thing is that you also could run your own matrix server if you want

[14:17:07] <saml[m]>	 Hey ho, from https://riot.im/app
[17:15:12] <Flexman>	 saml[m]: hi :)
[19:32:43] <Oflameo>	 I am building a local politician and bearucrat directory at https://www.cyanpages.info and I don't what extentions I need on top of semantic-mediawiki.
