**Background**
Wikimedia uses [[ https://zulipchat.com/ | Zulip ]], an open source chat platform for its Outreach programs to connect students and mentors. Currently, there is no information available on MediaWiki.org that we are using Zulip for Wikimedia outreach programs, how to register and login to the platform, how the platform works, and that the platform is available for use to anyone in the Wikimedia community.

**Steps to work on this task:**
[ ] 1. Send an email to ssethi@wikimedia.org with a valid email address and request for an invitation to join Zulip.
[ ] 2. Use instructions in the email to join the platform. Keep note of these steps in your rough notes, and take screenshots.
[ ] 3. Go to stream ‘Announce’ and then in the ‘New users’ topic reply to the automated bot message.
[ ] 4. Create a page on zulip that should be a subpage of the Outreach programs page > [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Outreachy_programs/Zulip&action=edit&redlink=1 | Outreach programs/Zulip ]].
[ ] 5. Include information about the platform, steps to register and login to the platform, how the platform works, how to chat, etc. Also, include a logo of the Zulip platform on the page.
