If you think that chatting is not a good idea, and a mailing list, and discourse(discuss.python.org) are the best option, please share your thoughts as well.
This was my original email. Based on the discussion here it looks like an informal chat medium will be desirable to many. Some don't see a need.
To bring a closure to this topic, I plan to create a poll in discuss.python.org to bring get votes on the decision.
So, the first decision will be.
Q: Do we need a core-dev only chat? An informal, private mechanism to hang around and chat.
A) No. Let's not do anything new. The status quo we have seems fine. B) Yes, let's experiment with Discord / Slack / Teams / Gitter / IRC.
If B, is your answer choice, and if we decide to experiment with a new solution, what could it be? (1-Many choices)
A) Let's try with Discord for core-dev B) Let's try with Gitter for core-dev C) Let's try with private IRC group other than #python-dev D) Let's try with Slack for core-dev E) Let's try with Teams for core-dev F) I don't have a strong preference. I will use whatever core-dev community uses as long as I can use it on my platform or web.
My aim is not disrupt existing systems that are used like #python-dev in IRC. So, it will continue to be chat mechanism open to public.
There will privacy focus with this solution, details on where to host to be determined.
I hope, I have represented the initial choices well. If not, please let me know.
If we end up with coming to a consensus, I will make a formal proposal to the steering council to make a pronuncement on this topic.
Thank you, Senthil
