Request to host Convo under an FSCI subdomain

BS Badri Sunderarajan Public Seen by 57

My XMPP messenger for KaiOS feature phones, Convo, recently got NLnet funding (!!!) which means I will be working on it more actively. Due to this, I'm planning to set up a website for the code and landing page as well as running a hosted demo.

Since the name I was hoping for (convo.chat) is taken, I was wondering about hosting it under an fsci.in domain for now: convo.fsci.in. Would that be fine?

I also thought of an XMPP related project like Prav or Durare but that could cause confusion about whether the entire community is focused on it, whereas projects under FSCI are more loosely coupled so it'll make sense that only some people (me) are actively involved. The only thing is I'm not aware of other development projects (as opposed to hosted services) that come under fsci.in.

By the way, though it's just me for now, others are welcome to participate: xmpp:convo@chat.disroot.org?join

This looks good to me, if no one objects in a week's time, you can send a merge request to https://gitlab.com/fsci/domains/

Or we could just go ahead and reconsider only if someone objects.

this looks good to me,

Could you add the code repository link for convo chat to this tread?

Created https://gitlab.com/fsci/domains/-/merge_requests/74 (the pipeline failed though, due to missing envvars)
