If I see the discussion so far it seems:
Type 2 (ephemeral, asynchronous) channel to remain on this list.
Type 3 (synchronous chat) to be on IRC #wikipedia-abstract and that bridged with the Telegram group
I am happy to lock these down in case no one vetos.
ZI, Ori, and Bryan, thank you so much for all the effort in setting up the channels and the bridge!
Type 1, regarding the wiki side, three options seem to be still in play:
1) stay on Meta
2) go to Wikispore
3) start our own wiki already
Regarding 3 - renaming a wiki is difficult, so starting a wiki without a final name is bound to lead to problems, so I'd prefer only to go for this if many of you lean to this.
I see Arthur for Meta, SJ and Richard for Spore, Charles and ZI for our own wiki.
A bit of a breakdown as I see it:
* Meta: established, has processes, Admins, already a WMF project, won't go away, history preserved, no Code of Conduct, we're already there
* Spore: fresh, new, exciting, will figure out as we go, flexible, needs to be checked with T&S and legal, they're happy to start with a Code of Conduct right away, we'd be helping Spore too to gain experience and also to be better known, things likelier to break, need to make sure history will always remain
* own wiki: no name yet, no moving later, but setting up a new wiki will take a lot of time, and it robs us of a proper launch date for the project
Let me hear more thoughts and votes if you have them.
