Purpose

aipt.group is meant to provide a self-hosted alternative to commercial and other non-free resources used by AiPT to coordinate and communicate.

Resources

Wiki

Provided by Gitea

• Intended primarily to replace Google Docs for collaborative document editing, e.g. for reading candidates
• Similar to GitHub Pages. Editable via web frontend or by pushing git commits.
• Gitea also provides git hosting, which could be used for study guides.
• Could be used for tracking details about the next meeting, including the reading.
• Currently using mostly stock settings for everything; we could customize the appearance at some point, if desired.
• We will need to collectively determine which documents (if any) are publicly available without an account.

Chat

Provided by Synapse (a Matrix implementation)

• Intended to replace Slack, with no restrictions on history retention.
• We may be able to install and configure a bridge to synchronize rooms between Matrix and Slack.
• Could eventually replace Zoom for video (maybe).
• We will need to collectively determine which rooms (if any) are publicly available, and what other settings they have (e.g. end-to-end encryption)

Principles

• Open-source
• Privacy-respecting
• Federated vs centralized
• Collaborative

Participate

• Create a Gitea Account
• Create a Matrix Account
• If you are interested in collaborating on maintenance, we can add a shell account for you on the server instance
