# In-team communication
|
|
|
|
Tasks people need to do go in GitLab, but that is *not* how tasks should be communicated. Whenever possible, anything important enough to be assigned is worth talking about in 'real-time' first, or concomitantly. Everything needed to understand an issue should be captured in GitLab, but we want to avoid back-and-forth 'huh what?' and 'nuh-uh not me' (un-assign)
|
|
|
|
Discussion that takes place outside of GitLab needs to be summarized (or copy-pasted) into the relevant issue in the GitLab project.

## Zulip
|
|
|
|
Our primary tool for internal communication is now [Zulip](https://zulipchat.com/), free software group chat software available as [LibreSaaS](https://libresaas.org/).
|
|
|
|
[agaric.zulipchat.com](https://agaric.zulipchat.com) is our web interface.
|
|
|
|
[Downloading an application](https://zulipchat.com/apps/) is recommended.

### E-mailing messages to Zulip
|
|
|
|
When BCCing a Zulip stream on a message to someone, Use the default that can be found under stream settings (click the gear icon you can get to from the down caret):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
project.785f16fc671a5d8c0f2d4fbb161f16b3.show-sender@streams.zulipchat.com
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
When forwarding an e-mail to a Zulip stream, swap out `.show-sender` for `.include-footer.include-quotes.prefer-html`
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
project.785f16fc671a5d8c0f2d4fbb161f16b3.include-footer.prefer-html@streams.zulipchat.com
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
