• Should we allow anonymous read?
• The consensus so far is yes, to increase openness.
  
• Should we allow anonymous write?
• The consensus so far is no, to avoid abuse.
  
• Should we allow public registration or make this invite-only? How much should we promote its use?
  
• Martin has suggested adding a help channel, and even configuring a single sign-on with the inkscape.org site. Except in the case of bug reporting, I'm of the mind that we should try to crowd-source support on larger user communities like forums, Facebook, etc. rather than absorbing a lot of how-to questions among a small team of contributors. Registration should be open, but the scope narrow, in my opinion. I'd love to know what you all think.
  
• Should we allow private (invite-only) channels or require all channels to be public? Do we allow direct chat between all (or just privileged) users?
  
• I'm a little worried about abuse and inclined to suggest limiting this in some reasonable way to trusted contributors.
  
• Should we allow anyone to create channels or create standard channels and allow moderators/admins to create new ones as needed?
• While we can expand on this in the future (with prefixes like Event_ and Project_), we're pretty sure we should limit the channels to the following for now:
  
• General
• Help (? See prior comments)
  
• Team_Board
• Team_Development
• Team_Documentation
• Team_Infrastructure
• Team_Translation
• Team_Vectors
• Team_Website
  
• What should the limit of file uploads be? (Currently 104MB)
• 10MB has been suggested and seems adequate for general purposes.

Hi all,

The Vectors team, after experimenting with a number of different online
discussion tools, has selected Rocket.Chat as the best option for their
team's discussions.  Thanks to hard work by new Inkscaper Manuel Recena,
this is up and running in Inkscape's official hosting, and is just about
ready for use.

While this is specifically set up at the request of the Vectors team,
other teams are welcome to use it too if they wish.  The #inkscape and
#inkscape-devel freenode IRC channels will continue to be our primary
discussion channels, no changes are planned for that.

There are a few decisions that still need to be made on how Rocket.Chat
is configured and used.  We figured these questions deserve broader
discussion, so are bringing them here.  Ryan, could you reply on this
thread with what decisions need to be made?

Bryce
