Welcome and thank you for your interest in XLibre! There are many ways to contribute, also in a non-technical way. I've noticed you are interested in writing so maybe this was something you could participate in. Would you be interested in technical writing like editing some wiki pages, documenting existing functionality, etc.?
Our main communication and development platform is Github, but there is also a contact section in the README containing alternative channels for reaching out:

I know Telegram and Matrix became popular because people thought they were private. Now it is known that they are not. Sessions is the only private chat program I know but it is not developed as well as Matrix and Telegram. |

Telegram is encryption to the server only. Everything can be read at the server. Matrix has end to end encryption but only if it is turned on. It is not always clear when it is turned on. Also, their is a lot of data analytics built into it that greatly hinders privacy. Sessions is End to End encrypted by default unless you go out of your way to set up a public room. It also doesn't have this very invasive analytics. |

XMPP is great. It is lightweight, extensible, also old and battle tested like X. |

Good evening and thank you for the suggestions.
Welcome and thank you for your interest in XLibre! There are many
ways to contribute, also in a non-technical way.
I've noticed you are interested in writing so maybe this was
something you could participate in. Would you be interested in
technical writing like editing some wiki pages, documenting existing
functionality, etc.?
Yes. That would be good.
I actually did a similar task in another Linux project, a couple of
years ago.
I would be glad to have someone to review my activity.
As for your statement concerning to myeslf and writing.
As Mr. Eustace Mullins (RIP) has often stated, that he is really an
artist, but due to situations of necessity, he had to resort to write
books, two of which are the most popular in history of USA.
So, I am really a pianist, yet I resort to software development,
and design; in addition, I also write and propagate; and I do all that
due to an urgent situation of necessity for a better future.

The mailing-list of FreeLists is good.
I will contact over the list, during Sunday evening.
Thank you.

Sounds good! I am willing to assist you as a mentor and reviewer.
One thing I have to mention: Our primary collaboration platform is GitHub. This is where issues are created, processed, and tracked. The same applies to documentation and parts of public relations. Please consider whether you are willing to participate in this workflow. |

I will work over GH, as much as I am not fond of it.

Yes, I know: Give Up GitHub - Software Freedom Conservancy I will have to prepare some work, write some concepts and create tickets so that you can get started. This will take a few days and then I will be happy to get back to you. |

Greetings. Ladies and Gentlemen.
My name is Schimon. I am an attorney at law.
On the recent couple of years, I am more engaged in developing software of RSS and XMPP, rather than law.
I am expected to do so, until the most important of my projects is done, and I will then be back to the law business, I suppose.
For over a decade I use Fluxbox, i3, and Openbox, and I intend to stay with X.
Also, I am confident that we must have to have Free Speech as much as possible.
I am reading about XLibre supposedly "being of bad people", which I do not even care, and I think that if I would review this concern, then it would be revealed as a false statement, as it was for me with the people of project Pleroma, who are very kind people.
I did write an article about the ONE reason that XLibre is important.
These are other articles about other concerns in which I also write a few things about myself.
If I can, in any concern, contribute some sort of participation in this project, which is not technical, then I will consider it and be glad to assist.
I would also be glad to have a forum outside of GH (e.g. a mailing-list or even Movim over XMPP), because I intend to leave GH.
