What are the criteria to decide whether a new channel should be opened for a subject or not?

Hi! Usually the private channels are used to organize work on Kotlin projects, including those run by the community. The public channels are used for wider community conversations, e.g. support questions, info sharing.

Sorry, I wanted to ask how it is decided whether a subject is a "wider community conversation", I see that there are multiple channels dedicated to libraries, and I'm curious what the "notoriety threshold" is for these to be accepted.

[Alina Dolgikh [JB]]

We don’t have formal criteria. Usually it is done upon request from an author.

[Alina Dolgikh [JB]]

Do you want to create a channel or any other reason to learn more about the criteria?

[CLOVIS]

Nope, I was just curious, thanks :)

Hi, can I revisit my answer? 🙂

[CLOVIS]

I'm working on a library of components that allow to switch the component implementation at runtime (e.g. write the same UI and compile it on top of Compose for Web, Compose for Desktop and Jewel to use the same logic in all apps). It's currently just a tech demo, but I have discussed it with multiple people in this Slack already (in DMs), I'd like a centralized way of getting more feedback

Not sure if this fits the criteria to create a channel here, but you mentioned it's on author request

Hi! I can create a public channel for you. What is the library which you’re working at?

[CLOVIS]

Thank you! It's called Decouple: https://gitlab.com/opensavvy/decouple

[Alina Dolgikh [JB]]

What name would you like to have for the channel?

[CLOVIS]

I guess the simplest would be #decouple, I'm not sure if there are any specific naming conventions?

[CLOVIS]

Thank you 🙂

[Alina Dolgikh [JB]]

I’ve created a channel. Please add topic and description

[CLOVIS]

Done, thanks a lot

I'll send a message in #feed tonight to announce it
