@u_tamtam @Slow Also we have been working on Prav for over 2 years already gathering members required to register a coop in India. We need 50 members from two states to register a multi state cooperative and we are very close to that number. We are in process of finalizing bye-laws and will be registering soon. At Prav, we are happy if new people learn about Quicksy and XMPP through us even if they don't join Prav.
Praveen - u_tamtam mentioned what I have been thinking about Prav - what's the rationale for it to exist and why should I choose it over the original?
/Of course, I appreciate the work you and the other volunteers are doing to spread the awareness of XMPP, Privacy, and Security (in India).
@Deus another Prav volunteer here. If you need to ask about choosing it over the original, you're probably better off with the original 😅
The personal motivation behind Prav was similar to Quicksy: to get friends onto XMPP when they're too impatient to learn how it all works :xmpp:
We realised it helps to be running the service ourselves, and to be able to modify the app as our users request (which can of course be propagated upstream if there is interest) 🛠️

@Slow @u_tamtam @praveen
@Deus I guess you'd use Prav if:
🇮🇳 you are based in India
🗳️ you want to be part of our cooperative society and make decisions on what happens next (even if you're not a developer)
💰 you want to support the development and running costs, but, more importantly, the publicity we're doing in India (if we have leftovers, we plan to donate them upstream)
:xmpp: and/or, you just want to talk to your friend with this new "XMPP" thing they're going on about

@Slow @u_tamtam @praveen
@Deus but when people are more deeply interested, or if they aren't based in India, we do direct them to other projects like Cheogram, Snikket, and of course Quicksy and Conversations itself! ↗️
