AsciiDoc WG and Community at Large,
I'm pleased to announce that we now have a place for the AsciiDoc community as a whole (
inside and outside of Eclipse) to come together: https://chat.asciidoc.org/
This new platform gives us the communication home for AsciiDoc that has long been absent. We believe that the activity in this chat will help catalyze progress on the standardization and advancement of AsciiDoc.
The Steering Committee and the AsciiDoc Working Group members will also use this platform as a way to coordinate its actions.
As a reminder, the purpose of this new communication platform is to:
- Discuss technical topics in detail (until they reach a level of maturity)
- Encourage initiatives and innovations by bringing people together around topics
- Keep a discussion focused on one topic
- Create group of interests
- Notify someone specifically or a group of users interested in a particular topic
- Share news, experiences, blog posts or resources about AsciiDoc, parsers, lightweight markup languages, documentation and other related topics
- Lower the barrier to entry as all conversations are public by default (i.e., no account needed to follow a conversation)
- Allow informal conversations between members so they can get to know each other
- See who’s participating, who’s online and who’s interested in what topic
For those who aren't familiar with Zulip, it’s an open-source communication platform which combines the immediacy of real-time chat with an email, topic-based threading model, that provides instant web public archives.
