Slack, Mattermost, Gitter and other chat platforms
The Fluid community has considered migrating to newer chat platforms but every time the general opinion has been that they are not as accessible as IRC or only offer features we depend on (e.g. public records) for paid users. A consensus on this topic has never been reached.
@Jess Mitchell @Alan Harnum
Hello Sir,
I am Ashish Kumar, currently pursuing B.Tech(CSE), 3rd year from Jaypee Instititute of Information Technology, Noida, India. I am a Open source contributer and a proficient Web Developer, I want to start contributing to Inclusive Design Institute Organisation and for this I am looking through a project in Google Summer Of Code.
Project Name: inclusively design and build a game for kids
Project Link: Google Summer of Code 2018 with the Fluid Project#InclusivelyDesign&BuildaGameforKids
As you are potential mentors for this project(as mentioned on website), so can you please guide me for it as i have a few questions regarding this
1.) would you like to mention the age group of kids for whom we want to design and develop the game?
2.) it would be great help for me if you can share some of the present examples of this project so that i could get a clear vision.
Hoping for a positive response.
Thanking You!!
