Let’s see how this discourse thing works. Not soo many people are here at this point. We should probably define some categories, and perhaps tags? As to categories, maybe a “Helpdesk” or “Questions” one would be good? And then perhaps a “Developer’s corner” or whatever? For tags… perhaps there should be tags for “group theory”, “number theory”, etc. ? And then we’ll see? ---

Sounds very good! We could also think of adding tags such as “documentation”, “tests”, …, and “Hecke”, “Nemo”, … for problems relating to subpackages of Oscar. ---

We should promote our discourse at the annual meeting next week in Aachen. ---

Ohh, that’s a good point. And in the newsletter… And in Claus’ talk… But then it should first be made “ready”, i.e. at least adding those tags and categories. ---

We now have a helpdesk category, populated with a couple topics (what the helpdesk category is about, and a basic checklist of what to do before asking for help, just in case `Pkg.update()` is all that was needed.) at [Helpdesk - OSCAR: Open Source Computer Algebra Research system](https://oscar.discourse.group/c/helpdesk/5) . I also added all of the tags mentioned in this thread, so anyone making a new topic can now use those. ---

> [@thofma](#): > > Also enable more login options via other vendors. Do you have specific ones you want enabled? The options we have are : - Github (already enabled) - Google - X (formerly twitter) (but I can’t do it since I don’t have an account there) - Facebook (but I can’t do it since I don’t have an account there) - Discord (but I can’t do it since I don’t have an account there) - LinkedIn ---

Looks like what I tried previously was not persisted. Can you try again? ---
