Motivation

[edit]

Matrix is becoming increasingly popular in free software communities

For matrix rooms we're using P8009 (IM channel), which we could reuse for spaces, but they are semantically very different, being more closely related to P9345 (Discord server), being as it's a collection of channels/users, and not an actual channel

it'd be nice if we could insert just the alias, but if we can't I guess they'd have to be entered the same way as in IM channel

Discussion

[edit]
  •  Strong support I oppose using IM channel URL (P8009) for storing Matrix rooms because that property is used in multiple contexts and filtering IM channel URL (P8009) to only show Matrix rooms require using regular expressions which is a skill that some users lack.  – The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rdrg109 (talk • contribs) at 20:04, August 2, 2022‎ (UTC).
  •  Comment Another idea would be to add a matrix room property, with a qualifier for type of room. Which could then be "chat", or "space", or "video room", or whatever else room types which get standardized in the future. Dandellion Dali99 (talk) 00:52, 9 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
