This document provides some answers to questions that frequently get asked within our community.

https://roadmap.polyphony.chat Dates listed on that page are not necessarily correct and merely a projection.

Read the contribution guidelines before doing anything!

If there is a project that you are especially interested in, you can always ask about things that need help here.

For polyproto specifically, please take a look at https://polyproto.org/docs/contribute. It lists ways you can contribute regardless of the programming language you prefer.

Polyphony in its current form is a passion project led by people with real-life responsibilities such as education, a job and/or family to take care of. Despite this, the project is being contributed towards regularly.

Polyphony is not yet at a stage where you can use it to communicate with other people using a server and/or client application.

Encryption with minimal clear-text metadata and great usability is a topic we are actively working towards as we develop the polyproto protocol, the polyproto-chat APIs and the Polyphony Chat server and client applications. Anonymity as a feature is not planned, however.

You can reach us at info@polyphony.chat for general inquiries and [security@polyphony.chat] if you'd like to address or disclose an immediate safety or security concern. Emails sent to these addresses can be read by people with the Maintainer role and by the project lead themselves. "Regular" contributors do not have a polyphony email account.

Quite ironic, no?

You can join our Discord Guild through https://discord.com/invite/m3FpcapGDD. The channels listed under the IRC section are bridged to an IRC server. This means, that your Discord nickname and message contents will be sent to that IRC server, should you send a message in one of these channels.

Communication on our Discord Guild is bridged to several IRC channels, so that people may partake in the Polyphony community without having to have a Discord.com account.

irc.libera.chat:6697 is hosting our channels.

The following channels are bridged between Discord and IRC:

##polyphony.announcements ##polyphony.community-updates ##polyphony.github ##polyphony.ci ##polyphony.chit-chat ##polyphony.rustaeceans ##polyphony.media #polyphony.discussion #polyphony.polyproto-discussion #polyphony.server-discussion #polyphony.sonata-discussion #polyphony.chorus-discussion

(Yes, there is a distinction between # and ##).
