Re: [hibernate-dev] Stride

So, I guess this closes the "Stride" case: we won't use it. I quite like Zulip, but I must admit it doesn't do much to make life easy for new users. This choice of theirs to make topics mandatory (or at least *seemingly* mandatory), in particular, is very likely to confuse new users, be it Hibernate Users joining to look for help, or even people in our team. So even though I like it, I think a lot of people won't, so they won't use it much, which kind of defeats the purpose of a communication tool. Slack would do the trick, I guess, and since most of our rooms are public we don't care that they probably use the data for their own profit (with such a trove of data, I would be surprised if they didn't). There are alternative solutions, though. Of course there are the clones of Slack such Rocket Chat and Mattermost. I just created a RocketChat instance: https://hibernate.rocket.chat/channel/general There is also gitter, which apparently some people in our team have been starting to use: https://gitter.im/hibernate/hibernate-orm . No JIRA integration there, though. I think in the end it will all come down to what people in our team are most comfortable with. Whatever the technology and its future, what we need most is everyone to be happy with it. We can deal with yet another switch in the future, but in the meantime we need everyone to use whatever we picked. And in this regard, it would help if people made their preferences known... Anyone?
