No, there isn’t a IRC channel for Synfig.
AFAIK, official ‘places’ for discussions and reports are this forum and Github repository.

Ok thanks for the info.

Should we create a Discord server for Synfig ?
Officially or unofficially ?

It’s just a good place to interact with community members, fast and quickly.

Lately, Discourse has a built-in Chat plugin, not activated here.

I’m not sure this would be so much great to activate it for several reasons:

  • Forums/IRC/Github are public and the communications benefit everyone
  • Our users are spread on different time zones and the interaction could be “limited”
  • We may not be able to filter the users having access to the chat, I don’t want the youngest of our users to be contacted by “The best escorts in Mumbai”…
  • As a possibility, our users can still use PM to exchange their email or chat/voice chat contact information

This is only my personal opinion (yeah, I know I’m a bit boring sometimes ^_^), the decision would be up to @KonstantinDmitriev :wink:

Did you mean Telegram Group ?
Telegram channels are just one way broadcast messages. Usually used for sending updates and notifications to user.

Telegram groups on other hand are Group Chats where everyone can send and receive messages.
Telegrams groups are ideal for small groups.

I really don’t care about what platform is being used, just anyway for quick communication is good.

Yes, I meant Telegram Group, sorry. :slight_smile:

I suggest to make a dedicated Telegram Group for Synfig, where users can communicate and help to each other.

But personally I think the problem with telegram groups is that it would be difficult to split them up according to topics, unless telegram allows it ?

I have seen other orgs using slack/matrix/similar stuff I remember gnome was using one of them and they had all sorts of different channels/groups for different topics and it was really good and organised.

However, maybe if it’s going to serve a single small purpose it could be an easy way of getting something set up quick…
