Background

Often it is useful to be able to identify how to connect directly with a channel or a member, outside of Joystream, for purposes of collaboration, ideation, business propositions, research, etc. Currently we do not have a metadata standard for this.

Proposal

For both members and channels, add decorations to the metadata standard for each entity, to support adding one or more of the following

• Email
• Handle on one among a standardized, and easily extensible, set of services: the following seem sufficient for starters
  • Twitter
  • Telegram
  • Discord
  • Facebook
  • YouTube
  • Matrix
  • IRC
  • Wechat
  • WhatsApp
• Raw link

Obviously only one value per category.
