But they should be ready to join the forum and be a part of this. ---

I would like that. Since I don’t want private email threads happening. ---

@r0bby I had a doubt regarding the blog. We should just setup our blog site and share the link right? ---

The team we are working at Evernym use Slack for support, and currently they are in a closed beta (which we are part of) - so, in the short-term it would be most expedient if a) @r0bby & @prajwal27 joins the Slack channel (with @r0bby observing) or b) @prajwal27 joins the Slack, and I will archive and share the channel’s content here (or somewhere else) on a weekly basis (or whatever interval works). Would that work? ---

@iainbarclay Currently, I’m not part of the Slack Channel. I’m fine with both the options though. ---

> [@iainbarclay](#): > > Would that work? That would not. Slack is closed off to the public. The idea is that anybody watching our forums can see what’s happening. The only permitted places that you can communicate are here(no Private Messages, I can check) and our chat. The Jitsi meet room is also permitted, but no other places. ---

Is it possible to have a separate channel for the project in chat? Rocket.Chat is available for desktop as well as mobile. So it’s better there than these forums right? ---

Both work. I mentored a student where all communication happened in pull requests and on Discourse. I’ll set up things this weekend. ---

I’m probably missing something - what’s the difference/benefit between using the chat and the forum here? Both show as web pages for me… I’m afraid I don’t think we can expect Evernym’s developers to join us in these forums - but maybe if questions are posted here I can copy them to their Slack and report the answers back, or if you post questions on (eg) GitHub/GitLab - I could bring them to the attention of the Evernym guys and they could reply (or you could tag their github/lab id’s once we know them?) - (maybe that is what @r0bby is already suggesting by “pull requests”? I’m not familiar with Open Source language and processes yet I’m afraid, but will learn!) - thanks! ---

Hi @r0bby @iainbarclay @shbucher @gsiwo @sradha @prajwal27, Mentors from the NeoLinkID side would like to propose 2 things for communication and documentation. 1. A weekly call for mentors and Prajwal on Thursdays 9am EST 2. A Github repository for all documents, code, and project materials. @r0bby if you are in agreement, could you please set up the Github and invite us and also create a recurring Thursday morning call (if that’s possible with LH video calling?). I can then populate the Github repo with all of the project documents that Prajwal will need in order to get started. Thanks! Maria ---

I do have a question: we would ideally prefer to use GitLab but you are welcome to use GitHub as it is available and 100% possible. I say this because GitLab has features that GitHub simply lacks. ---

GitHub repo created. I will also create one on GitLab – and mirror: > **[GitHub - LibreHealthIO/lh-mhbs-neolinkid-guardianapp: Canonical Repo at...](https://github.com/LibreHealthIO/lh-mhbs-neolinkid-guardianapp)** > > Canonical Repo at https://gitlab.com/librehealth/incubating-projects/lh-mhbs-neolinkid-guardianapp I am hoping that I got @iainbarclay – he’s admin.
