Interesting, yet another chat system:-) In our university they now installed Mattermost and Rocket.Chat in order to help us to collaborate with the students during the lock down...
I like the idea to have one centralized system. I looks like Matrix (or Mattermost or Rocket.Chat) seem to be very user friendly systems that lower the barrier for beginners. And they seem to be superior to Gitter (which looks a little bit outdated compared to the other systems). Our resources for infrastructure are quite valuable - Gitter and IRC do not require anything on our side, the service is provided for free. What is required for our organization to get such a chat system running? (We almost have no time to get our other services running, see e.g. the discussion about Jira.) > Am 10.04.2020 um 01:44 schrieb 'Gavin Mogan' via Jenkins Developers > <[email protected]>: > > I heard about matrix for the first time a few months ago when mozilla > officially shut down its irc servers and switched to matrix. > > I'm really bad at documenting ideas, but I'm open to any and all questions. > > Matrix is decentralized federated (nice fun buzz words again) chat system. > > Vs IRC: > IRC has a large barrier of entry these days.
