Fwd: [info] Octave Discord channel

How active is the Octave IRC these days?

I was in a seminar for an open source finite element tool, Elmer,  that
addressed user issues and got into some discussion about how to enhance
their contributor community.  I received the follow up copied below
(trimmed to protect the innocent), from the person maintaining a Discord
server for Elmer, Modelica, and others. I wasn't aware that there's a way
to 'bridge' discord and IRC. Realizing we've decided to try moving a lot of
communication to Discourse, is something like this worth pursuing?

Hi Nicholas,



It was a pleasure to have you at the Elmer seminar the other day.

I am the admin of unofficial Discord server for Elmer
<https://discord.gg/NeZEBZn> and there we have many channels for other
FLOSS CAD/CAE/CAM out there.

I also manage another server for Modelica <https://discord.gg/bp2yeYU>,
which is more targeted towards scientific calculations and simulations.

On that server there are channels for Octave <https://discord.gg/xg3kkx4>
and MATLAB <https://discord.gg/xAprgF4>, though they are yet to be properly
populated.

It would be a pleasure to have you and other Octave folks over there. We
can also bridge the channel to your official IRC channels if you will.
