[details about matrix snipped]


Before we discuss which system to use and for what reasons: Do we find 
it a useful idea for this group to use text chat?

My experience in using both mailinglists and text chat (matrix, irc and 
XMPP) every day, is that mailinglists are best for mindful comments 
while text chat is best for casual social "hanging out".

I am open to try use text chat here if others are ok to use open 
platform and want to drive it - I will not drive it myself, though.
