In the last year’s Google Code-in, students researched on open source team communication and collaboration tools, documented them and added a conclusion in which they made a recommendation for a tool that Wikimedia could use for its various outreach activities, events, and team communication. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research_on_open_source_team_communication_tools Since last year, tools listed in the documentation have received new updates and features. There are also a few tools like [Gitter](https://gitter.im/) (that was previously not open source but has recently become), [Discourse](http://discourse.org) and others that are missing from the page. This task is about updating the documentation for existing tools, add documentation for new tools, and modify the conclusion section. **Steps to proceed:** * Choose one tool from the research or a new tool that you would like to research on. * Add the tool name, your name and task status to the table in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T179989 (see the [Phabricator help](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Phabricator/Help#Creating_your_account)) * Do your research on the tool * Based on your findings, add or modify documentation on new or existing tools on the research * Update the table below, change the task status, and add what new changes you made **Tool documentation added / modified:** | Tool name | Your name | Task status (claimed, in progress, completed) | What changes did you make? | name_of_the_tool | your_name | -- | -- See also: {T154002} https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/FLOSS-Exchange https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Open_Source_Toolset#Chat

In the 2017's Google Code-in, students researched open source team communication and collaboration tools, documented them and recommended their use for Wikimedia's outreach activities, events, and team communication: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research_on_open_source_team_communication_tools. Since the last couple of years, tools listed in the documentation have received new updates and features. There are also a few tools like Gitter (that was previously not open source but has recently become), Discourse, and others that are missing from the page. This task is about updating the documentation for existing tools (including screenshots), researching new tools, and adding them to the page. Note: Please do not make direct changes to the page on meta-wiki. Create a Sandbox page as a subpage of your user page in meta-wiki (something like https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:SSethi_(WMF)/Sandbox, mine is currently empty though :-/) See also: * T154002 * https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/FLOSS-Exchange * https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Open_Source_Toolset#Chat
