Creation of groups to simplify @ mentioning multiple people

To simplify ā€œ@ mentioningā€ individual people, Iā€™ve created 3 Discourse groups. Weā€™re all human we forget to add the right people now and again.

The 3 groups are:

  1. Hypha adopters - Hypha Community (Discourse accounts of Hypha adopter organisations)

  2. Hypha implementer - Hypha Community (Discourse accounts of Hypha Implementers - Documentation writers, Software developers, UX designers.)

  3. Hypha maintainers - Hypha Community (Discourse accounts of Hypha Maintainers - This group contains the Discourse accounts of Hypha Maintainers - people regularly working on Hypha.)

Iā€™ve added people to groups I think make sense. If Iā€™ve made a mistake, registered Discourse users who are Hypha adopters or implementers can add/remove themselves to the relevant group(s).

This means we can do things like mention - @Adopters and @Implementers - and both groups of people will be mentioned.

Other groups can also be created - e.g. for documentation working group, UX design group, etc.

As with all superpowers - use them only for good. :superhero:

Any questions, thoughts, just let us know.

Should we also have a ā€œMaintainersā€ group?

As Iā€™m creating the ā€œStakeholdersā€ doc page we discussed in the 12 Oct Maintainers meeting (it wasnā€™t in the notes so I just added it :grin:), Iā€™ve got Maintainers as a group separate from Implementers (though there may be overlap).

Is this a distinction we want to maintain?

Yup, sensible idea! Iā€™ve created it now, @Maintainers, and included the people in the list on your page.

If someone is missing, or needs to be added, they can add themselves to the group, they donā€™t need to request anything.
