[OSM-talk-be] ordering channels in the Community Index

[Jonathan Beliën]

I completely agree with your suggested order !

But I would merge Riot and IRC in one single "channel".
Those are the same channel, IRC is just a bridge to our Matrix/Riot channel.
As I suggested a while back (I even forgot I made that suggestion), I would use the extended description of the Matrix/Riot "channel" to state that people can connect to that channel through IRC (see https://github.com/osmlab/osm-community-index/pull/142#issuecomment-387755419)

Have a nice day!

Since a few days, they can be ordered based on inputs from the local community. I'd like to do that, but I'd like to refer to some public discussion about what we want to show.

> talk-be: historically our main channel, and still the best place to have more complicated discussions
> forum: easy to use for some, and does have some activity
> irc: not really a separate channel, but a way to reach the riot channels. Used by only a few people, but really easy to use for those who already use irc
> twitter: more for outreach than for communicating, but still useful
> facebook: we're only there because we felt we had to :)
