Обсуждение: Add PostgreSQL Discord to website?
Heyas, What do people feel about adding things like the PostgreSQL Discord and Slack addresses to our "Community" page? https://www.postgresql.org/community/ Personally I've not been using the PG Slack for ages. However I've been using Discord for other projects and discovered a sizeable PG specific Discord today: https://discord.com/invite/bW2hsax8We Thoughts? Regards and best wishes, Justin Clift

Interestingly, the PG Slack is shown on the "List" page left side bar: https://www.postgresql.org/list/ Guessing it uses a different template to the Community page. ;) + Justin
If there are "official" channels (e.g. like the IRC ones) then sure. Otherwise it should be noted as being unofficial community channels run by third parties. Maybe grouping all such things under one place with a common, "Third party community sites..." heading.
FYI, the Slack link on the mailing list site goes to https://postgres-slack.herokuapp.com/ but it's a 404.
It was probably running on the Heroku free tier and stopped when they shut down their free tier at the end of last year.
Adding Denish to this thread as the earliest mention I could find of that link in the mailing lists was from him.

At some point we'll probably want to figure out a process for unofficial Community channel becoming "official" ones (if they care to). :) > FYI, the Slack link on the mailing list site goes to > https://postgres-slack.herokuapp.com/ but it's a 404. > > It was probably running on the Heroku free tier and stopped when they > shut > down their free tier at the end of last year. Ahhh. Old link then. I checked my records, and old server address I used to use for it was: https://postgresteam.slack.com Trying that now bounces me here though: https://app.slack.com/client/T0FS7GCKS/C0FS3UTAP There still seem to be people actively using it. Quite a lot of them actually, from scanning through their many channels there. 20k+ members for some of the channels. > Adding Denish to this thread as the earliest mention I could find of > that > link in the mailing lists was from him. Good thinking. Sounds like we'll need an updated Slack "invite" link or something at the very least. And probably need to add it to the other template as well, so it shows up on the Community pages (etc). :) Regards and best wishes, Justin Clift

This was missed when we added [1] as the archives code lives in a different repo, but I've corrected this. Thanks, Jonathan [1] https://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=pgweb.git;a=commit;h=8b420bfd422

We shouldn't put un-official sites on the .Org page, imv. In terms of the process around that, my recollection is that for Slack -core talked to them about if they agreed to follow and enforce the CoC (and possibly other policies that -core decides to put out, I imagine) and given that it was trusted and known folks who were running the slack and they agreed to that, it was listed (or maybe was kept listed? Not sure, it was a while back). > > FYI, the Slack link on the mailing list site goes to > > https://postgres-slack.herokuapp.com/ but it's a 404. > > > > It was probably running on the Heroku free tier and stopped when they > > shut > > down their free tier at the end of last year. > > Ahhh.

I'm really confused why no one has put the relatively small bits of code necessary into the main .Org site to allow this to just work..? The main thing, I think, is that the Slack admin would need to provide an API code for this to be done, but I wouldn't have thought that'd be a big deal.. Admittedly, it's been a bit since I looked into it and I know there was some prior discussion on this list about it, so perhaps there's some sensible reason... but it's unfortuante. > > Adding Denish to this thread as the earliest mention I could find of > > that > > link in the mailing lists was from him. > > Good thinking.

That seems like the right way to go for this.. Thanks, Stephen

David, what're your thoughts on this?. :)
I'm not seeing, today, any obvious differences between the user experience with Slack and what Discord provides. So if the community is going to show Slack we should provide a URL for signing up with Discord as well.
I'm more involved with Discord than Slack and do think the former could use a round of formalizing. But it seems to meet the current standard of acceptance that got Slack listed.
I do think that as part of the formalzing, ideally done with Slack as well though I don't know that platform to the same degree (in particular where people are expected to go to find stuff like policies), that pages like the existing one for IRC should be created. I would expect the community to design and put forth such a page for consideration by .org - using the IRC as a starting point.
