I am thinking about setting up maybe a whatsapp group chat or similar for contributors. Open to ideas around a platform, as long as it’s nothing too complicated to use.
Who would be interested?
Suggestions, thoughts, comments?

I wonder if a 35mmc one might require some rules for subjects and frequency, especially allowing for time zones. Perhaps potentially longer conversations could be referred to individual messaging to keep the chat manageable. I can certainly see lots of benefits too. I suspect I would use it for appealing for help with particular cameras, processing issues, films etc.
Got to be worth a trial at least I think, maybe with a set date to review it's use.
Best regards Paul

I think it’s a good idea to create a platform for contributors, but I think a single group chat will become very chaotic, in particular in case people don’t quote the comment they might be responding to.
Don from Crown+Flint has created a Discord group, part of which is public, some of it is limited to beta testers. Things a separated into categories. That works reasonably well.
Don’t forget, I am one of those Germans… :-)
