Introducing python.zulipchat.com
As an experiment we have gotten an instance of Zulip running for Python's development at https://python.zulipchat.com (IOW this is for discussing the development *of* Python only*)*. As Guido has put it you can view Zulip like "hyper-interactive email" as we have streams corresponding to equivalent mailing lists and all messages fall under a topic so conversations are on-topic. The instance is currently rather open at the suggestion of Zulip, so people can create new streams, add bots, etc. There are already bots I have added for commit notifications, Travis failures, and deployments of Bedevere and The Knights Who Say Ni. The invite message when you sign up mentions all this, the CoC, etc., so do give it a read. Otherwise feel free to join and help us decide if this is useful enough to make a permanent thing for Python's development!

Just a usability note - the sign in procedure seems very weird. I tried to log in, but didn't want to create another independent account so I tried "Sign in with Google" and "Sign in with Github". Both took me round a loop of authorising the access, then said "no account found for your email address" and I ended up back at the sign in page. I'm not sure what I did wrong, but the first time I did this, I just gave up. This time, I've sent this message... Paul

Try clicking on "Sign up" below those buttons to get the "sign up with Google/GitHub" buttons.
OK, got there now. Thanks for the help. That's a lousy sign-up
experience, though...

The Zulip project maintainers are active on our instance so after you join go to the Zulip stream and start a topic about this. On Sat, Apr 21, 2018, 02:16 Paul Moore,

I did - "Zulip -> Sign up". I don't know of a way to put a link to that topic here, but I assume it's findable in the UI. There's been no replies yet. Paul

For anyone else with the same question: clicking on the topic title in either the side navbar or the stream overview will give you a view specific to the topic that also serves as a shareable link. In this case: https://python.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/116410-zulip/topic/Sign.20up Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncoghlan@gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia

lol, I'm so used to web apps *not* providing URLs specific to where you are in them (I'm not even sure what the term for this is - "doing the web properly"? :-)) that it never even occurred to me that the link in my browser bar was usable! Paul
