Gitter uses your Twitter or GitHub username and avatar. You don’t set up and maintain a new identity on Gitter. You use your existing one. In a sense it looks like an extension of GitHub or Twitter, like you already have an account on Gitter and you just start using it. When your read discussions

+1 for Gitter over IRC given the recent spam tackling measures taken by freenode. Other advantages have already been mentioned, I raised this concern over mailing list too. It's high time we consider a switch. Regards Sumit Srivastava On Fri, 18 Jan 2019, 5:58 pm Vipul Gupta, wrote: > I do

This project was not completed given the limited time available to GSOC projects. It fell victim to the common problem of expanding the goals beyond the available resources. Currently I believe Jupyter Notebook is a better solution if it can be added to Sugar. Tony On 1/18/19 7:40 AM, James
