Dear All,

There is a top icon template at the top of the Abstract Wikipedia Meta page. Links of Abstract wikipedia social media and live communication channels are there.


Regards,
ZI Jony

The whole concept of Wikispore is to be the counterpart of Incubator for new-WMF-projects, rather than new-WMF-languages.

It's hosted on wmflabs.org, and has no existence or ambition separate from the Wikimedia project context. We want to provide a home for developing new WMF-projects there, that's its only purpose.

Thanks,

Vote for Meta.
Own Wiki: too premature
WikiSpore: I see advantages for them, not for us. Keeping things together where they belong (in the history of the WMF-projects) seems to me as a big advantage.

Hello,

One more vote to stay on Meta, at least for now. Against setting up new Wiki because this is energy that should be used for more productive things. No real opinion on Spore.

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.

I see that folks are not as familiar with Zulip, so a bit of background info:


And yes, an open source variant of slack seems to be a decent description.

I have never tried it out before.

Thanks! My prefs: 

My thought would be that there is a need for three different channels:
* First and foremost, a channel to document decisions, essays, documents, plans, etc.

On WikiSpore, inviting it to work out better ways to transfer those discussions to (Abstractipedia) en masse than currently provided by Meta.   With stubs on Meta showing the crosswiki links to the Spore pages
 
* Second, a channel for asynchronous discussion, announcements, etc.

This list, for all tech and non-tech discussion.
 
* Third, a channel for synchronous discussion, for quick discussions, office hours, socialization, and later, when testing and deployment starts, for quick feedback

IRC/TG with a bridge. One channel on each.
I'm a fan of slopi communication, even when synchronous.
