Rel4tion-Wiki/community.mdwn

**Rel4tion** is developed and this place is maintained by [[fr33domlover]].

Any help, participation, involvement, comments and feedback are very welcome.
It is a "non profit" project made for the love of it, and has nothing to do
with money, corporations or jobs. There is nothing sophisticated, academic or
professional about it. Therefore, in this place everyone can be an equal
participant, and every contribution is important and matters as any other.

Indeed sometimes people come and ask questions, although at this early stage
there is no actual community around the project, since no platform releases
have been made yet and there's not much interesting software to play with. But
there are already several communication channels. Choose below your favorite
one.

# Discussion Pages

Each page in this wiki can have a discussion sub-page. When browsing the wiki,
you can see a "Discussion" tab near the top right corner of the window.
Clicking will take you to the discussion page (if it exists) or will let you
create it (if doesn't exist yet).

Currently it requires creating an account (just username and password, should
be quick and simple), but possibly in the near future discussion pages will
become open for editing without it, and the accounts may be merged with another
server (e.g. Freepost, see below), so making an account there will also allow
logging in here.

For more info about participating in the wiki, see [[/access/wiki]] and
[[/editing]].

# IRC

Freenode channels:

- `#rel4tion` (fr33domlover is there 24/7 but may be in "away" status)
- `#freepost` - channel of the Freepost community, more info below
- `#fsf` - Free Software Foundation channel, you may perhaps find people there
  who know about this place

# Jabber

**Rel4tion**'s [[Jabber server|/access/jabber]] has several public conference
rooms. Federation is supported, so you can participate from any Jabber server.

- `community@muc.rel4tion.org` - general discussion
- `rel4tion@muc.rel4tion.org` - technical project discussion

Relaying between Jabber and IRC is planned, but hasn't been set up yet.

# Forums

The forums are part of the wiki: [[/forums]].

# Mailing Lists

See the [[/access/mailing-lists]] page.

There have been ideas about trying distributed solutions like Syndie, I2PBote,
GNUnet and others. But for now there are just the simple regular mailing lists.

# Freepost

Freepost is a friendly community of people using and making free software, and
generally concerned about freedom and privacy. You're welcome to join at
<http://freepo.st>, and/or visit the IRC channel mentioned above.
