hey @caasi! @itsmisscs and I were talking about bridging some other communities that we're involved with, and we know that y'all at g0v have done tons of work on this.

(I noticed that you've been active on the logbot sourcecode, so I thought that this area might be of interest to you. Pls do feel free to loop anyone else in, or let us know if there's a better place for this convo 🙂 )

Basically, we've started to investigate matterbridge:
https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge#readme

it is really well-supported, actively developed, and connects to lots of chat services already. plus, it's possible to host it for free on heroku:
https://github.com/edgi-govdata-archiving/matterbridge-heroku#readme

do you think folks might be interested in converging on a shared tool like this? It would be really exciting if we were all working on the same codebases while connecting up our communities! 🚀

edgi-govdata-archiving/matterbridge-heroku

matterbridge-heroku - A Heroku buildpack to help bridge chat tools like Slack.

and by "started to investigate matterbridge", I suppose I'd be more truthful in saying "I've been actively using matterbridge for 6 months on a large-ish project" 😊

wow. Let me check matterbridge first.

Currently there are 2 bots(logbot and slackarchive) and 2 bridges(slack bridge and telegram bridge). It will be good if we can have more services to archive infomation.

BTW, I think @gugod and @mrorz may be interesting too.

Gonna sleep now.
sounds like slackarchive is down though 😞
what’s the telegram bridge? sounds neat!
@itsmisscs apparently 50 people are in this telegram group:
https://telegram.me/joinchat/ACZZEAaP-BZLv8y4LKMi8A

and it syncs both ways with #general :slightly_smiling_face:
oh cool! wow. we could have people join us via chat and not need to join slack! i think that’s worth looking into for #vnetwork

@caasi cool! i'm happy to hear that you think it seems neat too!

fwiw, matterbridge is mostly really well documneted, but also has an undocumented general API that works kinda like any other bridge protocol matterbridge offers:
https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge/blob/master/matterbridge.toml.sample#L990-L1016

so i can imagine a custom gateway that takes EVERY channel for every protocol IN and sends it OUT over the API bridge protocol, so something custom like a big archival tool (currently logbot viewer?) could suck it all in and index it

<https://twitter.com/remco_verhoef|@remco_verhoef> Hey man! Really enjoying your service, <https://twitter.com/slackarchive|@slackarchive>, but it looks like it stopped syncing the 25th of December. I saw some other people on Twitter reporting the same issue. Any update on that?

hi @ronnywang! i see that middle2.tw is listed in bottom contact info for hackpad.tw, so:

may i ask what codebase you are using for hackpad.tw? Is it deployed straight from https://github.com/hackpad/hackpad/ codebase, or are there any customizations that haven't been able to go public yet? (thanks a bunch for hosting it, btw!)

GitHub

hackpad/hackpad

hackpad - Hackpad is a web-based realtime wiki.

ugh. sorry, spoke too soon. just saw your repo 🙂
https://github.com/middle2tw/whackpad
seems https://github.com/whackpad/whackpad#readme might be unmaintained now, with effort on the one I linked. but both pretty slow.

if you're interested in any help porting, i'll be happy to help, but seems to be working pretty well 🙂
also, i could be eager to help upstream your changes to hackpad/hackpad, if you were open to that
ronnywang 10:22:00
@patcon all changes on middle2tw/whackpad are using Apache License too. Feel free to use them!
ronnywang 10:23:32
the major change on middle2tw/whackpad is to change the search engine from solr to elasticsearch
