Chat - internal communication tool for the biketour organisers

You need to sign up in order to start using the chat. To register use this link: https://chat.rankenste.in/signup_email?id=zumy5nguzf8ix887zik8nycn1r

Once you have signed up to the chat you can join different channels which are discussing different topics. This can be done using the "Public Channels" tab on the left hand side of the screen. Click "more" and then "join" the channels that you want. Those with "A" at the beginning, for example A: Biketour Organisers, mean all. "T" stands for topic, "WG" means it is a working group that people can join. "Z" means it is an older topic so is moved to the bottom of the list when searching.

Good channels to start with are:

A; Biketour Organisers

A: Proposals

T: Meetings

Once you have joined a channel you can then write in it at the bottom of the screen. You can also reply to other people's comments by clicking the arrow to the right of their message. You can also address a message to a person by writing @ followed by their name. You can also write @all for something important that you want many people to answer.

You can write private messages to one or more people under the "Direct Message tab on the left hand side.
