For open source projects, I love Zulip's ability to have what they call Web-public channels. Will this Changelog instance of Zulip have any of these? It would allow for transparency and let new people check out the conversation before having to create an account.

Agree that's a super cool feature. I think we could totally do something with this, just not sure how best to execute on the idea...

What reservations do you have? Come lie on this couch and tell me all about them. :couch_and_lamp:

Related, the idea of the "discuss" link going to Zulip: https://changelog.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/453512-general/topic/Is.20this.20cool.3F.20y.2Fn.3F/near/468430020

The Bytecode Alliance has done an interesting thing of backing up their public channels to GitHub and then publishing them as a standalone site https://bytecodealliance.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/206238-general/topic/The.20zulip.20conversations.20are.20now.20publicly.20hosted.20on.20github/near/476046305

Yes, very nice. This is the solution Zulip recommends for better SEO.

"Web-public channels do not yet support search engine indexing. You can use zulip-archive to create an archive of a Zulip organization that can be indexed by search engines." -- https://zulip.com/help/public-access-option

And it's a good backup too, of course. :grinning:

Just setting up the zulip-archive GHA workflow and some docs in a repo, will be community maintained at https://github.com/lorebooks-wiki/changelog-zulip-archives.

For the Chngelog Media staff, the zuliprc I used in question is @Changelog Chat Archives [Unofficial].

@Jerod Santo @Philip Durbin Should I archive every public channel or should be limited to dedicated channels for each Changelog podcast + #general?

Every public channel makes sense to me. Would you be interested in running it from thechangelog org instead?

Sure, I can hand off the repo and the configuration, including the zuliprc for @Changelog Chat Archives [Unofficial].

Sent a repo invite for repository ownership transfer. I'll transfer the generic bot owner then while I wait.

After you complete the repo transfer, just update GitHub Pages settings and I'll do the Cloudflare Workers magic for the old URL.
