Choose a communication tool about flipperzero-firmware HOT 7 CLOSED

I vouch for Discord.

Pros:

• Solid markdown support
• Channels
• Voice
• Free

Cons:

• Doesn't do threads

Thread support would be nice, but channels + quotes + md are good enough. Vapor support uses Discord and it's quite nice.

Slack is good as a secondary option.

Mumble:

• Opensouce
• Totally free
• You don't need any phone number

But personally Zhovner dislikes it

Mumble is ugly on the tech side, it don't have normal chat at all. In Discord you can use voice and text with CHAT HISTORY! Also Discord have markdown in chat and it's free too.

We already have a Discord server, used only for voice right now. I plan to make it open in public

Separating roles and channels in this way:

Roles

• Everyone
• Contributors — everyone who has access to our Github
• Staff — people working in-house
• Admins — staff members who can manage permissions

Channels

Right now I just separate contributors from everyone, to prevent a flood. Later we can create more voice and text channels for firmware/hardware/creative department.

I think we can close this issue, @zhovner could you add Discord info to contribution guide?

We have no link to communication page except navbar. In contribution page has "Ask around for help!" paragraph, good to add communication page there. Also need to add link to main page
