Public logging isn't very accessible. When you join in a chat after being disconnected (like IRC does all the time), you'd like to look through the previous discussions easily. On Sat, Dec 10, 2016 at 4:30 PM, John wrote: > An issue was raised about only seeing IRC

An issue was raised about only seeing IRC messages while logged in, however the WMF does publicly log several of their channels, so that is a moot point ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org

A lot of places are using Discord now, too. It has an offline, mobile, and web client that are more media based, so there's multiple channels and support for direct files/images uploads. I think it would make it a lot easier to actually have a chat platform you can interact with other people in.

Hi, The problem is in IRC that it doesn't allow to see previous messages. I mean it only shows messages as long as you are logged in. On Tue, Dec 6, 2016 at 6:20 PM, MAYANK JINDAL wrote: > Hi, > We are using IRC for discussion purpose. How will it be if we change

+1 for matrix.org. I use Riot and the Android app. The IRC bridge is still a bit flaky but it seems more reliable than a bouncer. If you do go the bouncer route, I recommend firrre . On Tue, Dec 6, 2016 at 8:51 AM, Gabriel Wicke

Some of us have been using matrix.org, which is an open system with many of the features expected from a modern chat system. It also bridges to IRC, but usability and reliability of that bridging can still be improved. See https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:GWicke/Matrix.org for instructions.

Hi, We are using IRC for discussion purpose. How will it be if we change our discussion platform? Many organizations have switched to gitter that have very user-friendly UI and very easy to use. Please give a view on my proposal. -- Kind Regards, Mayank Jindal, Third year undergraduate student,
