Re: [infinispan-dev] Replacing IRC

Why not use Hipchat as EAP/Wildfly to prevent from too many different platforms ?

Hard requirements: - free (as in beer) - hosted (we don't want to maintain it ourselves) - multi-platform client: native (Linux, MacOS, Windows), browser - persistent logs - distinction between channel operators and normal users - guest access (without the need for registration) - integration with Jira for issue lookup - integration with GitHub for PR lookup - IRC bridge (so that users can connect with an IRC client) - ability to export data in case we want to move somewhere else - on-the-fly room creation for mini-teams Optionals: - Free (as in freedom) - offline notifications (i.e. see if I was notified while away) - mobile client: Android and iOS - proper native client (as most Electron clients are quite fat) - chat logs accessible without a client (it is acceptable if this is achieved via a bot) - integration with Jenkins for CI status - XMPP bridge (so that users can connect with an XMPP client) Not needed: - file sharing, audio/video Here is a list of candidates: - IRC (i.e. no change) - Slack - Stride (Atlassian's upcoming replacement for HipChat) - Matrix (Matrix.org, unfortunately with funding issues) - Gitter - Discord - Rocket.chat (unfortunately hosting is paid) If you have any other suggestions/recommendations, they are more than welcome.
