-> identify points of contact for Zulip, i.e. who gets contacted if something goes wrong?
I'd like at least several core devs to get involved as admins.
-> should the existing Python Software Foundation infrastructure team be involved in the admin of this system?
I think they should be involved, with setting up zulip and as admins.
-> does Code of Conduct apply to users of chat system? Should this be advertised somehow
The PSF's CoC will apply. If it's up to me, I'll have a bot set up that greets every new members with explicit reminder that the CoC applies there.
-> what types of channels/rooms should be created? who is responsible for creating these channels?
To start just a python-dev room? admins can create new channels.
- identify systems that can be integrated with Zulip:
-> GitHub (out of the box integration is available)
That's perhaps the important one right now (IMO). The next I'll probably use myself is Zapier integration :)
Future integrations can be proposed at later time.
