## Important

Please read the Code of Conduct before participating in xw3 community discussions.

## IRC

We use the Libera.Chat IRC network for realtime collaboration.

Just click the channel name to open a web based client in your browser for instant chat.

Channel | Description
--- | ---
#fun-lang | All discussion about the Fun programming language

## Mailinglists

Mailinglists are provided by the lists.xw3.org mailinglist server.

Simply click "Subscribe" to join a list by sending a blank email.

List | Description | Action
--- | --- | ---
fun-announcements@fun-lang.xyz | For Fun announcements | [Subscribe] | [Unsubscribe]
xw3-developers@fun-lang.xyz | Developer discussion about Fun | [Subscribe] | [Unsubscribe]
xw3-users@fun-lang.xyz | User discussion about Fun | [Subscribe] | [Unsubscribe]

You can also post to a list without a subscription, but your messages will be moderated and experience indefinite delays in delivery, and you won't receive replies if other users simply reply to the list without CCing you.

## Mastodon

We will use Mastodon for announcements in the future: https://fosstodon.org/@fun.

## Others

We believe that the communication channels mentioned above are sufficient for Fun development. IRC, mailing lists and Mastodon provide you with the perfect entry points for discussions about Fun development. Nothing more is needed.

### Matrix

We do not and will never provide chat over the Matrix protocol in any way. Matrix sucks!

We also will in no way provide an IRC <-> Matrix bridge. Again, Matrix sucks!
