@matrix Any chance you can prioritize https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-bifrost/issues/64 ? Currently people joining matrix rooms via XMPP apps don't get a good experience as they miss all offline messages. #xmpp #matrix #freesoftware #interoprability
I have created an xmpp public channel to work with people interested in this feature. Join and help out in the crowd funding campaign.
You can join via matrix as well https://matrix.to/#/#bifrost-mam:poddery.com #matrix #xmpp #FreeSoftware #bifrost-mam
OK we found people to work on this, they were part of #Outreachy project and worked with me on adding yarn plugin for apt in #debian. But no crowd funding platforms support payments to Nigeria. Would you know any #FreeSoftware organizations in Europe of US who can help with setting up a crowd funding campaign and then pay them directly?

Hey, I'm thinking of

@conservancy
Very different approach: https://opencollective.com/

@wendy @conservancy thanks we thought of SFC and planning to write to them. Do you know if open collective support payments to Nigeria?
@wendy @conservancy @sonnie is contacting SFC to check the possibility of them handling the funds.
@wendy @sonnie let's ask Snikket folks too. @snikket_im would you be able to host a crowd funding campaign for adding offline message support to matrix bifrost bridge? This will make accessing #matrix from #xmpp apps like snikket reliable and makes choosing xmpp more attractive option for people who currently use matrix or has many communities on matrix.
@wendy @sonnie @aral would you be able to host a crowd funding campaign or know someone who can to add offline message support to matrix bifrost bridge so xmpp users connecting to matrix rooms will have a reliable experience?
