Switch from nabble to gitter

[nicolas-f]

It's a debate about whether we should switch to gitter (https://gitter.im/NoiseModelling/community) instead of the mailing list (http://orbisgis.3871844.n2.nabble.com) on the noise planet webpage (https://noise-planet.org/noisemodelling.html#community)

@ebocher @Picaut @pierromond @gpetit

The issue is we have only emails and our answers are not shared with the community.

Yes we should find a way to optimize this point (since Nabble and more widely mailing lists are quite "old school" and have sometimes security / spam issues).

IMO, we have to distinguish the questions and the discussions:

• questions / remarks : they should be public so thath answers can benefit to the all community. Nabble was a solution ... but maybe we should just focus on Github issues?
• discussions : they may be public or private, bilateral or widely opened. In this case, Gitter may be a good option (other community are using IRC channels. If I understand well, this is more or less the same approach).

I like github issues + gitter solution.

Also on the Contact page https://noise-planet.org/contact.html

How about adding a "Community" insert above the email link to limit email interactions to things that are private ?

[gpetit]

Yes we can add a message to clarify this aspect : only use contact email for private questions.
I will add this point in the list of updates for the website
