Channels on the Kanthaus team

Our main channel is ~kanthaus. ~in-house is intended for people who are currently in the house. ~stuff is about items in and around the house, Vortex photos get posted there. ~exchange is for general discussion not necessarily related to Kanthaus.

There are many other channels. To find them on the mobile app, click the "+" icon top right and go to "Browse Channels". On laptop, go to the bottom of the channels list , click "+ Add channels" then "Browse Channels".

Some of those channels are private, because they contain private or sensitive information. Those are reserved to Volunteers and Members.

Known issues

This lists the issues we have encountered when switching from Slack to Mattermost:

• No email integration. We have built the MailMirror plugin for that, which could still be improved in many ways
• No support for reminders of events (for instance stored in an ICS file)
• Not possible to fully rename the "Town Square" channel (the id will stay `~town-square`)
