This is a ver most important part here. Initially, I wasn't thinking what would be social vs non-social with core-dev chat. But guidelines here, that this is more a "team chat" - Just members of team hanging around, feeling comfortable to chat was my thinking. Requesting guidance on something or seeking opinions should be a part of "social" thingy, but, I foresee that we will have to make sure critical decisions don't happen in there. Given the social aspect of solution, I think, voting would best capture the winner and folks whose vote's didn't win will perhaps fold over to the winning choice. That's the reason we had choices between IRC, Gitter, Zulip to Discord. -- Senthil _______________________________________________ python-committers mailing list -- python-committers@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-committers-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-committers.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-committers@python.org/message/QOJIE7RCKUDVE7EOA5UAQYV65OYBTEWW/ Code of Conduct: https://www.python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
