I mean, I’m hoping we don’t need to bridge two channels for the two of us. :D
And to be honest, I don’t have a client/account for neither IRC nor XMPP set up. I don’t chat much with people.
It’s been my impression that XMPP is more approachable (especially for asynchronous communication), so I would lean towards that, but I’ll have to look into it either way.
And well, I’ve dubbed the project “prefab” (akin to “prefabrication buildings”, also reasonable short and wasn’t taken yet), so that would probably make sense to use as the channel name.
If that’s not a satisfying means of communication for you, we can stay on the bugtracker :)
XMPP is more approachable
Definitely! It’s more complex in a sense but has much less inconsistencies because everything is standardized. In contrast, login/moderation on IRC is different on every server so joining a server can require extra steps. In Jabber/XMPP world, you use your usual account to join chatrooms on other servers directly, without extra setup steps. If you’re looking for a free-price (donation-based) server, disroot can be an option. ~team also provides the same kind of services, but offers shell accounts (and gopher/WWW hosting) as well (which is really handy for us techies to test stuff).
I’ve dubbed the project “prefab”
Can’t say i’m a fan of prefabs in the construction worlds, but i appreciate the metaphor ;) I’ve created prefab@chat.disroot.org if you decide you’d like to give Jabber/XMPP a try. I strongly recommend Dino, gajim or poezio as clients, but there’s a few more that are actively maintained (just don’t try a random client and figure out it’s old and broken in many ways :P). Also Tor integration should be rather straightforward in most clients (but maybe not dino yet).
