So I think we need a way to communicate with each other.\r\n\r\nThere are a number of options:\r\n\r\n1. A mailing list. Can be hosted on https://groups.google.com or on http://www.freelists.org and probably other free services do exist.\r\n2. Forum, hosted somewhere. Haven't found a free host yet\r\n3. IRC. Freenode or OFTC are well known IRC servers.\r\n4. Webbased chat service, like https://gitter.im or another similar service.\r\n\r\nI personally prefer the mailing list. Although not perfect, it still seems the best solution to me at the moment. It works great off-line, easy to read back. Different discussions go into separate threads. And speaking for myself, I know I will forget to check a webbased service after a while and miss the important things. So getting the messages in my inbox works for me.\r\n\r\nOr maybe I am wrong and we just use issues to discuss things. But then we need to mark as such and close after a certain time of inactive discussion"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/universal-ctags/ctags/issues/comments/107753545","html_url":"https://github.com/universal-ctags/ctags/issues/344#issuecomment-107753545","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/universal-ctags/ctags/issues/344","id":107753545,"user":{"login":"blueyed","id":9766,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/9766?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/blueyed","html_url":"https://github.com/blueyed","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/blueyed/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/blueyed/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/blueyed/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/blueyed/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/blueyed/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/blueyed/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/blueyed/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/blueyed/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/blueyed/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-06-02T00:37:21Z","updated_at":"2015-06-02T00:37:21Z","body":"I personally don't like mailing lists too much, but that's caused by using Gmail for them (where your own posts don't show up) and the subscription process.\r\nBut for projects you are more involved in this is not a problem. So +0 to that.\r\n\r\nUsing Github issues and pull requests seems to be working good so far though, so maybe not scatter it too much for now.\r\n\r\nIRC seems a good idea anyway, I'd prefer Freenode."}}
