A Wikimédia Chat (https://chat.wmcloud.org) valós idejű üzenetküldő rendszer, amely lehetővé teszi, hogy a wikipédisták külön platform (például Slack vagy Microsoft Teams) nélkül is tarthassák a kapcsolatot. A chat a Mattermost nyílt forrású szoftver [CloudVPS]-en futó verziója. A Wikimédia felhőre vonatkozó irányelve alapján az üzenetek 90 napig tárolódnak, a belépéshez pedig meghívás szükséges.

Compared to IRC, Wikimedia Chat provides:

  • Ability to scroll back and read messages when you were offline
  • Ability to search in history of discussions
  • Ability to receive email upon notification
  • Push notifications and email notifications
  • Ability to hide one's IP address from others without needing a cloak
  • Proper support for sharing media
  • An interface that is translated to more than a dozen languages.
  • Kétfaktoros hitelesítés
  • A proper mobile app support
  • Ability to add custom emojis (yes, it’s extremely important)
  • Profilképek
  • Ability to ping everyone with @here or @channel
  • much much more.

It is part of the Wikimedia Social Suite and is an installation of the Mattermost open source software system on Wikimedia CloudVPS; messages will stay there for 90 days due to WM Cloud policy, and membership is by invitation from an existing member for the initial beta testing stage.

Matterbridge

Matterbridge is a software to transfer messages between Mattermost and other chat systems. For example it operates between Wikidata Wikimedia Chat channel and #wikidatakapcsolódás IRC channels. If you have a request between a Mattermost channel and another IRC channel, or Discord channel, or Telegram group, please create a Phabricator task.

Használat

Good practice in naming is to when joining to use the Wikimedia username/full_name so that your profile matches the account in Wikimedia spaces *(this might later be synced/connected).

Good use cases are:

  • groups that need to coordinate and collaborate across different time-zones and therefore benefit from persistent chat channels, shared playbooks and kanban-boards (normally available only to Wikimedia developers)
  • events that invite diverse participants around a bigger theme or set of topics
    • that might normally use IRC and/or Telegram (as it can bridge to both)
    • that need to refine and branch out (unlike Telegram, something like Slack)

Bad use cases are:

  • communication and file/URL exchanges that need to be preserved for more than 3 months
  • communication that requires high level of privacy/encryption
