The governance of the Matrix Spec has always been open, as explained on the website ( https://matrix.org/foundation/about/ ) and in the Matrix Spec Change process ( https://spec.matrix.org/proposals&#

You can disable e2e on your server if you wish so. The option already exists in Synapse and it is part of Element Matrix Services customers. For those who are legally required to be on record, there are other ways to keep track of the conve

Yup planning to get it on in the coming months. As a data point e2e by default is on for the French government deployment and we haven't seen huge drama, so we're mostly waiting to get the UX out. We'll be sharing our work fo

Just as well that we're working on it and released huge improvements yesterday! Think 70% reduction of memory use and dramatic reduction of launch time :) ( https://medium.com/@RiotChat/riot-im-web-0-17-and-ios-0-7-

that is the plan, except the operational bits specific to their deployments

The spec only states the use of JSON over HTTP as a baseline so anyone is welcome to implement more efficient transports like CBOR/COAP or MQTT or whatever :) But yes the goal of the reference implementations was to showcase the simple

Within Riot, polishing e2e is already top of our priority list, but yes it definitely doesn’t harm having high profile entities like this expecting it.

Because Signal is centralized. With Matrix they can deploy different servers across the gouvernement which interoperate. And potentially open it to the wider Matrix ecosystem

They are forking Riot, and deploying a closed federation of Matrix servers. That is what they mean by “it’s based on open source software”

Indeed, trying to find the balance between "accessible for your average WhatsApp user" and "powerful for more advanced users" is still something we're working on. Nothing deliberate here. - Matrix team

[disclosure: I work on Matrix] There is no acquisition here, nor any expectation to use Status token. The only idea is for both projects to help each other, and if Status can help financially Matrix might help otherwise (e.g. provide a brid

yup will be fixed thanks

Synapse 0.18.0 has just been released, might worth giving it a try as it improves things a bit. Thanks for the support :)

Riot is just a client running with a Matrix server. Synapse is the one we currently run https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/ Others are in development at http://matrix.org/docs/projects&#x2F

Great :)

How so less appropriate? Lack of link to Matrix? Going out of beta we had to decide on something which was really carrying what the app is, we loved Vector but it has always been a code-name and a nice pun on Matrix :) Riot is more represen

by amandine 10y ago
Precisely: just setup the server and off you go, you don't have to federate, although as you say that would be missing part of the fun ;) The Vector app on Android (using GCM) has pretty good perf battery consumption-wise. Unsure how i

So does Matrix :)

With Vector you have the choice between using the hosted version of Vector or host it yourself. And being built on the Matrix ( http://matrix.org ) standard, it's a completely distributed architecture: run your own server an

by amandine 10y ago
Yes the Vector Android app uses GCM, but it's opensource so you might be able to tweak it so that it works on F-droid? Sorry I don't know much about the differences there...

by amandine 10y ago
Yes, and the idea is to have a lot of "Matrix powered" apps out there like Vector

by amandine 10y ago
good summary :)
28.
by amandine 10y ago
Yes basically the concept of closed teams doesn't exist in Vector: you are a member of different chatrooms, public or private, with other people, each having its own focus, no matter what is the project scope or the topic.

Vector does address the same market as Slack, with similar feature set but also leveraging Matrix to bridge to other systems like Slack, and IRC, and others soon. And yes Vector allows you to be part of several teams without switching betwe

by amandine 10y ago
Except Vector and Matrix are two different things :) Matrix wants as many apps built upon it as possible, Vector is just leveraging the power of Matrix to provide good collaboration services
