## Activities
|
||||
|
||||
This working group's primary purpose is receiving and processing requests about the [room directory](@/homeserver/room_directory.md) of the matrix.org homeserver.
|
||||
|
||||
## Room Directory Policy
|
||||
|
||||
The formal policy developed by the Trust & Safety Committee of the [Governing Board](@/foundation/governing-board/index.md) is below. Interpretation and changes are managed by the Trust & Safety Committee and approved by the [Trust & Safety](@/foundation/about/index.md#the-staff-of-the-foundation) team, while implementation is managed by the [Room Directory Working Group](@/foundation/working-groups/index.md).
|
||||
|
||||
1. The matrix.org public room directory is highly visible and serves as the main entrypoint into the Matrix ecosystem for many new users. To ensure trust and safety on matrix.org and maintain a good onboarding experience, The Matrix.org Foundation curates the room directory.
|
||||
2. Rooms or spaces may be included in the room directory if they meet the following criteria.
|
||||
1. Rooms must be actively moderated. There must be active users with a moderator role, and spam and abuse should be removed within a reasonable time period.
|
||||
2. Room moderators must be reasonably responsive to Foundation staff in the case of questions or concerns.
|
||||
3. Rooms must comply with best practices for moderation of large public rooms, as determined by the Trust and Safety Committee of the Governing Board.
|
||||
4. Rooms named after a recognisable organisation or project must be sponsored by that project or be clearly marked as unofficial, while still having a positive relationship with the project.
|
||||
5. In the case of a space, all rooms under the space must comply with this policy, and the administrators of the space must provide assurance that this will continue to be the case.
|
||||
3. Approval of rooms for inclusion in the room directory is at the discretion of the Room Directory Working Group. Generally, the Working Group expects to approve rooms that are related to Matrix, other open source projects or communities, or other well-defined topics that are of interest to the Matrix community. Because of the difficulty of reviewing and moderating “general” rooms with no specific focus, they will not generally be approved.
|
||||
1. The Room Directory Working Group will consult Foundation Trust & Safety staff prior to approving additions. In some cases, Trust & Safety staff may object to the addition of a room.
|
||||
4. Administrators of rooms aligned with this policy may request that they be added to the room directory by sending an email to *TBD* with a general description of the room’s topic and its moderation practices. The Working Group may follow up with additional questions.
|
||||
5. Staff at The Matrix.org Foundation may remove rooms from the room directory if they are found to be in violation of the code of conduct or this policy, or if removal is required to mitigate an ongoing incident.
|
||||
6. The Room Directory Working Group will review the directory contents at least annually to determine if rooms should remain listed.
|
||||
|
||||
**Interpretation notes**
|
||||
|
||||
* Clause 2's use of "may" permits approval *and* denial.
|
||||
* Clause 3 is permissive to "vaguely related to Matrix", but is intended to be kept relatively narrow to "Matrix-related" for now. This may change in the future.
|
||||
* Clause 4 supports using forms instead of an email address.
|
||||
|
||||
**Implementation details**
|
||||
|
||||
* The working group is expected to maintain an appeals process/form.
|
||||
* The working group is responsible for internal approval/denial processes, including how to get rooms actually (de)listed in the room directory.

|

### Purpose
|
||||
|
||||
Paramount to all these formalities we are introducing by creating a WG from a Foundation staffer with some volunteers, is to provide a framework that enables their work. This should particularly mean that everything we establish here should streamline things, avoid discussion by drawing clear lines, etc. and NOT drowning in bureaucracy. Some of these processes will necessarily introduce a bit of potential friction and we should be careful to design these parts as lightweight and streamlinable as possible.
|
||||
|
||||
### Membership
|
||||
|
||||
- the WG can let any community member in good standing join on its own judgement
|
||||
- any GB member can join the WG
|
||||
- the GB can recommend people to be considered for joining/removal
|
||||
|
||||
### Powers and responsibilities
|
||||
|
||||
- editorial rights to the matrix.org website repo, including blog & TWIM
|
||||
- except
|
||||
- security team has the security hall of fame subpage content
|
||||
- legal team has legal content
|
||||
- matrix.org homeserver team ("backend team") has things directly related to running the HS such as .well-known
|
||||
- (SCT has [spec.matrix.org](https://spec.matrix.org))
|
||||
- create process around blog posts e.g. to coordinate publishing on certain time
|
||||
- creates the responsibility of availability
|
||||
- on certain topics might require more setup, e.g. blog posts on security issues
|
||||
- this needs to be streamlined enough to avoid potential of e.g. too much nitpicking. for example pre-approving content, etc.
|
||||
- the WG may decide to not publish things or ask for changes, according to the content policy/communication strategy (see below). changes to the content require the original author's approval before publishing.
|
||||
- the WG can also delegate review approvals
|
||||
- establish clear criteria about projects listed under /ecosystem (e.g. maturity status, featured), to be signed off by the GB
|
||||
- create and maintain "core" content
|
||||
- initially: improve documentation/onboarding experience for new users and communities (e.g. the /docs page)
|
||||
- propose a list of things that are "core" content
|
||||
- establish a policy/clean-up process for unverified content
|
||||
- do docs authors have responsibility for their content?
|
||||
- conference website, in agreement with the Events WG
|
||||
- here, events WG would be responsible for content, and Website WG for tech
|
||||
- process for joint responsibilities like this to be created by the joint WGs/teams
|
||||
- TWIM helper/tooling repos
|
||||
- administration of (deployed) tooling
|
||||
- e.g. TWIM bot
|
||||
- e.g. cloudflare
|
||||
- processes around this to be created by the WG. e.g. delegation of admin tasks (-> currently by SRE team on Fdn k8s)
|
||||
- Matrix Live
|
||||
- for now, it seems to fit best in this WG
|
||||
- content creation can be delegated
|
||||
- review (content and technical e.g. editing) and publish it
|
||||
- manage respective rooms: TWIM, TWIM offtopic, website, news room
|
||||
- Manage the [#community:matrix.org](https://matrix.to/#/#community:matrix.org) space
|
||||
- making this known and establishing processes for it
|
||||
- shared with T&S
|
||||
- socials
|
||||
- YouTube: descriptions, playlists, comments, ...
|
||||
- mastodon.matrix.org
|
||||
- decide what is the commitment for the @matrix account here
|
||||
- document some expectations to content posted/other interactions
|
||||
- blog posts and other things published by the WG are posted
|
||||
- set some baseline rules
|
||||
- etc -> see list in the Fdn handbook
|
||||
- see mastodon
|
||||
- document any accounts and who has access
|
||||
- help establish the communication strategy/content policy and review any activity in the repo & other outlets to make sure we follow it
|
||||
- also see the existing proposals in the handbook
|
||||
- e.g. set a (technical) policy for pushes to main that all contributions must follow
|
||||
- e.g. m.org blog posts
|
||||
- e.g. label appearances of non-Foundation entities clearly on Matrix Live (e.g. Element Demos)
|
||||
- mark authors and explain their role
|
||||
- technical oversight of shop.matrix.org
|
||||
- access to administrate it
|
||||
- ensuring that one can actually buy an article without the website exploding
|
||||
- ability to update documentation, i.e. making sure the modalities are as clear and easy to find as possible
|
||||
- this explicitly excludes decisions about the merchandise sold on the store and the financial aspects, but includes only the technical operation.

will be times where the WG should keep certain information
|
||||
confidential and only share it with specific individuals. As the WG we pledge
|
||||
to keep information confidential when necessary while still being transparent
|
||||
and open where possible.
|
||||
The T&S committee may decide to remove members from the WG if it sees a member abusing their access to information or not acting in a trustworthy manner by sharing information the group agreed to keep confidential. This should be a last resort, needs a majority in the T&S committee and should be preceded by appropriate communication and warnings.
|
||||
|
||||
### Typical Tasks
|
||||
|
||||
- Gather information about current moderation challenges on Matrix and keep structured notes about them
|
||||
- Maintain an overview of available moderation tools and their capabilities
|
||||
- Create and maintain moderation guides on matrix.org in collaboration with the Website or Documentation WGs
|
||||
- Reach out to moderators to gather feedback or offer advice
|
||||
- Reports insights and opinions to the T&S committee and possibly other T&S working groups
|
||||
- Potentially collaborate on proposals with the T&S committee or other WGs
|
||||
- Turn some of their research into MSCs and collaboratively push them to completion as well as advise on other MSCs from a T&S perspective
|
||||
|
||||
### Membership
|
||||
|
||||
Interested members should be able to apply to the WG freely, but the WG and the T&S committee should do a short background check, if they are willing to give the applicant access to the information or if there are any active abuse concerns. This should be a low bar to clear, but is intended to keep malicious individuals out.

|
||||
The matrix.org public room directory is highly visible and widely used by users from across the federation. To give new users a safe way to find interesting rooms, The Matrix.org Foundation curates the directory. The management of the directory is handled by the [Room Directory Working Group](@/foundation/working-groups/index.md).
|
||||
|
||||
Currently, the Foundation aims to showcase rooms and communities related to Matrix and other open-source projects. If you’d like to have your room(s) listed in the directory, you can submit an application via [this form](https://cryptpad.fr/form/#/2/form/view/BIhKmupHthnfRK9e7rdJnG0ilU2k0dJtazvIMlfNCds/).
|
||||
Currently, the Foundation aims to showcase rooms and communities related to Matrix and other open-source projects. If you’d like to have your room(s) listed in the directory, you can **submit an application via [this form](https://cryptpad.fr/form/#/2/form/view/BIhKmupHthnfRK9e7rdJnG0ilU2k0dJtazvIMlfNCds/)**.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to explore a even wider range of public Matrix rooms, you can also browse the directories of other homeservers or community projects such as [matrixrooms.info](https://matrixrooms.info)
|
||||
(these directories are independently operated and not affiliated with The Matrix.org Foundation).
|
||||
|
||||
## Full policy
|
||||
|
||||
The formal policy developed by the Trust & Safety Committee of the [Governing Board](@/foundation/governing-board/index.md) is below. Interpretation and changes are managed by the Trust & Safety Committee and approved by the [Trust & Safety](@/foundation/about/index.md#the-staff-of-the-foundation) team, while implementation is managed by the [Room Directory Working Group](@/foundation/working-groups/index.md).
|
||||
|
||||
1. The matrix.org public room directory is highly visible and serves as the main entrypoint into the Matrix ecosystem for many new users. To ensure trust and safety on matrix.org and maintain a good onboarding experience, The Matrix.org Foundation curates the room directory.
|
||||
2. Rooms or spaces may be included in the room directory if they meet the following criteria.
|
||||
1. Rooms must be actively moderated. There must be active users with a moderator role, and spam and abuse should be removed within a reasonable time period.
|
||||
2. Room moderators must be reasonably responsive to Foundation staff in the case of questions or concerns.
|
||||
3. Rooms must comply with best practices for moderation of large public rooms, as determined by the Trust and Safety Committee of the Governing Board.
|
||||
4. Rooms named after a recognisable organisation or project must be sponsored by that project or be clearly marked as unofficial, while still having a positive relationship with the project.
|
||||
5. In the case of a space, all rooms under the space must comply with this policy, and the administrators of the space must provide assurance that this will continue to be the case.
|
||||
3. Approval of rooms for inclusion in the room directory is at the discretion of the Room Directory Working Group. Generally, the Working Group expects to approve rooms that are related to Matrix, other open source projects or communities, or other well-defined topics that are of interest to the Matrix community. Because of the difficulty of reviewing and moderating “general” rooms with no specific focus, they will not generally be approved.
|
||||
1. The Room Directory Working Group will consult Foundation Trust & Safety staff prior to approving additions. In some cases, Trust & Safety staff may object to the addition of a room.
|
||||
4. Administrators of rooms aligned with this policy may request that they be added to the room directory by sending an email to *TBD* with a general description of the room’s topic and its moderation practices. The Working Group may follow up with additional questions.
|
||||
5. Staff at The Matrix.org Foundation may remove rooms from the room directory if they are found to be in violation of the code of conduct or this policy, or if removal is required to mitigate an ongoing incident.
|
||||
6. The Room Directory Working Group will review the directory contents at least annually to determine if rooms should remain listed.
|
||||
|
||||
**Interpretation notes**
|
||||
|
||||
* Clause 2's use of "may" permits approval *and* denial.
|
||||
* Clause 3 is permissive to "vaguely related to Matrix", but is intended to be kept relatively narrow to "Matrix-related" for now. This may change in the future.
|
||||
* Clause 4 supports using forms instead of an email address.
|
||||
|
||||
**Implementation details**
|
||||
|
||||
* The working group is expected to maintain an appeals process/form.
|
||||
* The working group is responsible for internal approval/denial processes, including how to get rooms actually (de)listed in the room directory.
