Synchronous Messaging at Mozilla: The Decision

[grahamperrin]

@mhoye would you like to remove the http:// link from the IRC address in the opening post? For it to appear as shown in this (modified) quote:

… shut down IRC.mozilla.org. …

It’s not linked at your http://exple.tive.org/blarg/2019/12/19/over-the-line/ so I guess that the link here was automated by Discourse, not intended.

For curious readers:

• the Wayback Machine extension automatically found a non-redirecting capture from 2012 – https://web.archive.org/web/20120614025737/http://irc.mozilla.org/
• the last Wayback Machine capture was in 2014 – a redirect to http://wiki.mozilla.org/IRC

What is the timeline for making https://chat.mozilla.org/ accessible to everyone? Many employees seem to have already switched to using it and IRC is unusually quiet.

We’re aiming for tomorrow.

Is there a documentation somewhere, especially for mobile users?

AFAIK, not yet. But don’t hesitate to join on the desktop version and ask questions :).

If it helps, I wrote this for the desktop version:
