Upgrade WM Chat to Mattermost most current version or at least 7.8 (long term support)
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

It looks like the recent versions of Mattermost (WM Chat runs 2018 version) have some excellent and much needed features for collaboration beyond just chat. Kanban-boards and playbooks are introduced in official version (no longer as plug-in) and both would be useful to end-users.

I discovered that 5.1 is no longer officially supported in mobile apps (though basic features kind of worked)...so new users get alerts each time they start it.

I would ask if it is possible to have it WM Chat upgrade to the most recent stable Mattermost?

@Ladsgroup would you still be the only person who can/would be able to do it?

What is "most recent stable" exactly?

Wikipedia says 7.2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mattermost#cite_note-wikidata-cd1c7a0a26f3d06beeba4a149020f4b69e700514-v3-3
but I am neither admin nor informed of how conservative is WMF with using different versions of software in the WM Cloud...so i would not draw conclusions myself :-)

Thanks. (This has nothing to do with "WMF".)

@Ladsgroup would you still be the only person who can/would be able to do it? Are there other people with access?

There are other people who have access to WMChat.

@Ladsgroup who? Do they also have skills to do it?

Irrelevant stuff - previous task title was clearer

(I honestly don't understand very well why it would be friendly to rollback a Task title, removing the supposed current version, and then saying that this information was "irrelevant stuff". I know it's an huge work to keep all Tasks under a watchlist, but sometime doing less creates a more pleasant environment.)

@Pharos do you have access and knowledge to update Wikimedia Chat or know someone who does?

Upgrade is even more needed + also bridges to existing global Telegram groups.

@Aklapper I would have gladly if I had the skill and time...instead I was passing on link to few to consider stepping in.
