Re: radical proposal: move IRC to Rocket.Chat

FWIW, I didn't keep up with Matrix to well in recent times, but I remember having a look at it back when it made its first splash (the LWN article at all) and at the time I considered it the most promising-looking IRC replacement attempt yet. It had some of the traits of other attempts that

Collecting requirements for a KDE-wide instant messaging solution (was: Re: radical proposal: move IRC to Rocket.Chat)

Hi everyone, now that hopefully most of the emotional arguments in fiery support of one protocol or another have been exchanged, I'd suggest we move things towards a practical approach and ask ourselves: What are the requirements that KDE has for an instant messaging / chat system for it to be

Re: radical proposal: move IRC to Rocket.Chat

I guess as KDE's "IRC guy" (I maintain Konversation) I should chime in here. I like IRC. I regard IRC as important. I think without IRC none of the past 20 years of KDE would have happened, and the reasons for IRC being a successful technology for us and many others start with "chatting is nice"

There seems to be a native Qt/QML client for Matrix ( https://matrix.org/docs/projects/client/quaternion.html), it even seems to be developed by a fellow KDE member, judging from the screenshoot. On Tue, Aug 8, 2017 at 8:17 PM, Cristian Baldi wrote: > Hey there, > > I

Re: radical proposal: move IRC to Rocket.Chat

+1 for Matrix - given that it's bridged to Freenode, all you have to do is give out Matrix links instead of linking people to IRC and they'll be able to participate in the same community. You might want to look into creating Matrix rooms manually if you want more control over the room (the

Hi list, first of all a disclaimer: As someone heavily involved with IRC (I am freenode staff) I am of course slightly biased. However: various communities I am in, including freenode, frequently has a look as alternative protocols. They come and, compared to IRC, they also go.
