Rather than IRC or video, which both have significant problems for this type of open engagement, perhaps WMF could install a modern group chat system, like Zulip, or another Slack-like tool. The enthusiasm for Discourse hasnt resulted in any significant adoption. I venture to suggest that this is because it isnt mobile friendly, and doesnt integrate with MediaWiki authentication. Their app is little more than a web-browser (and the WMF labs instance doesnt support the necessary API anyway.) https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T124691 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T150733 I've created a task about this problem for GCI and Outreachy which are about to start: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T150732 I see Slack is being used by Portuguese Wikipedia https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip%C3%A9dia:Slack It would be good to hear their opinion on this tool?
