# Site: Matrix — OSArch Room
|
|
|
|
**Proposed by:** theoryshaw
|
|
**Date:** 2026-05-11
|
|
**Status:** Active — bootstrapped at genesis; community may remove or amend
|
|
([how site governance works](../../ARCHITECTURE.md#how-should-the-community-decide-which-sites-to-collect-from))
|
|
|
|
**Platform:** [Matrix](../platforms/matrix.md)

## What is this site?
|
|
|
|
The OSArch community room at `#OSArch:matrix.org` (accessible via Element at
|
|
`app.element.io/#/room/#OSArch:matrix.org`) is where real-time community discussion
|
|
happens — questions, announcements, and day-to-day coordination.

|
## Inclusion criteria
|
|
|
|
| Criterion | Met? | Notes |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| Data is publicly accessible (no API key required) | Partial | Depends on room history visibility setting — needs verification |
|
|
| Actively used by a meaningful portion of the community | Yes | Active daily chat channel for OSArch |
|
|
| Activity represents genuine effort, not easily gamed | No | High message volume, low signal quality — easy to inflate |
|
|
| Platform is stable enough to depend on | Yes | Matrix protocol is decentralised and stable |
|
|
| Relevant to the community's actual work | Yes | Primary real-time coordination channel |
|

## Score weight
|
|
|
|
Current weight in `config.yaml`: `matrix_messages: 0.1`
|
|
|
|
Intentionally the lowest non-funding weight. Chat is valuable for community health
|
|
but should not dominate the participation signal.

|
## Concerns or open questions
|
|
|
|
- Public accessibility of message history needs verification for this room's history
|
|
visibility setting
|
|
- High gaming risk — see platform doc for mitigation options
