ReactOS now has an official communication platfom that is completely decentralized.. Mattermost!

https://chat.reactos.org/ - Login with your ReactOS account.

I copied the message from Discord.
Thanks to cernodile for the information.
This [ I mean my post ] is not an official announcement.
Thanks to Colin Finck for ReactOS Mattermost and RosBridge.

Says maximum number of accounts reached for me. Is this going to replace the old IRC?

That issue is being worked on.

It seems IRC is going to stay according to Cernodile.

Which matters most? Rocket Chat or Mattermost?

I didnt realize Cernodile organized that.

Thanks, this is nice. Finally a working chat again as I was not able to register at freenode!

Just installed an Android client and joined the party. Thanks go for everyone involved in this. Won't miss the party again!

I don't know what made you think that.
However, I will make changes to avoid confusion.

It was a sarcastic comment towards the way it was worded.

Did anyone test mattermost web client with seamonkey?

I ask because I wanted to see what it looked like, but does not work on SM2.49.4
I have no script installed, but reactos.org is whitelisted, and no other domains are shown in it's popup list.


Janus.

There are still ppl using SeaMonkey?! Well, chrome and Firefox work fine.

There are many users operating other browsers beyond those giants that desire to be Chrome in look, feel and technical underpinnings.

There is also Palemoon- I use Palemoon 32bit all the time - there is waterfox, there was cyberfox, there are other browsers for Windows. Basically, what is provided by the internet for the internet needs to be browser agnostic, ie. it needs to work on all browsers and not just on Windows but on all o/s including ReactOS!

If we accept that internet provided tools are to be browser-specific and not work in others then we might as well accept that applications can be just as o/s specific and all resign ourselves to abandon the pointless task that is ReactOS and adopt the two-headed behemoth that is Windows running Chrome for ever and ever.

PS. Palemoon runs Mattermost perfectly.

As far as I understand, much of "browser compatibility" comes down to the underlying browser engine that it uses. The Wikipedia article on this (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Browser_engine) sees fit to mention 8 in total, only four of which are under active development.

I agree that any tools the ROS community chooses to embrace should be open and widely available and I'm certainly no fan of any company or technology monopolizing a market, but we also can't ignore the fact that Chrome and other Blink based browsers are more than half of all active (desktop) browsers on the web.

Gecko/Goanna is around 10%, with Trident and WebKit around 5% each and everything else below that. We certainly can't be expected to hold our tools to the requirement that they must work on Dillo and NetSurf, for example.
