A semi-permanent hangout is a poor match for Zoom — it would make a great target for Zoombombers.

That kind of space would be better suited to IRC or Slack, generally, no?

It might be nice to have a permanent-ish "hangout" chat. Some of us get to leave the house for work but I imagine for a lot of people it's rather dull at home!

Hi all,

Since in-person meetups aren't an option at the moment, I've started a discussion about taking meetups online: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:UK_Wikipedians%27_notice_board#Digital_meetups
