I believe the maintainers of this project are communicating via chime or email, regarding this project, making decisions in the fastest and most comfortable medium available to them. Maintainers would have to be going over this chat constantly to answer questions otherwise there could be frustration from the community for being “ignored”.People think harder about what they ask and write in this forum than in a sync chat.Questions on sync chat tend to get lost easily (slack is notorious for this) and there is a high chance they remain unanswered.OK, I spoke to colleagues in other projects – and got some other feedback about this issue.įirst of all, I changed my mind and prefer we steer clear of sync chats. an informal chat for trash-talking, hanging out and the occasional off-topic question about opensearch: i can see the point for that but wouldn’t know when i’d join (not during my free time but probably also not often during work time). or at least “no” for actual discussions, etc (these would always exclude everyone who doesn’t have time at that specific moment / wasn’t around just then). So i’m kind-of re-considering whether i’d want a chat for opensearch and might end up with saying “no”. I already now have pinned the forum in my browser and configured it to show me with an icon the amount of unread posts (limited to the opensearch category), so i can jump back here fairly fast if something has been posted (to check if it’s relevant for me and maybe directly read it) - but i don’t have to do so right away since things aren’t lost here. and at work i need to be able to focus - which isn’t possibly if you constantly have a chat open on another screen (it’s already annoying enough with all the MS Teams & email notifications which are work related). ![]() I will definitely not be doing this for opensearch - this is a pure work-topic for me (i’m active here because i need opensearch for the products we’re building, i can imagine other things for my free time than doing the same thing i already do the whole day ). so far i always used such chats (mainly IRC) in a private setting where i would just “hang out” in the chat all evening long (having it open on one screen) while doing other stuff on the main screen. The asynchronicity of the forum allows for communication over different time zones and for potentially more people to chime in on a specific topic.Ī live chat is a lot more fast-lived: if you are not looking into it for a few hours you’ll just have missed what happened then (ok, there are also those chats with only 5 messages a day - but then they’re pointless anyway).
