[chuck-users] Biweekly appointment with ChucK on the Facebook group

Wed Nov 7 17:51:53 EST 2018

Coming from the Csound community, which has a very active mailing list that
seems to be the main channel of communication, I thought the ChucK
community seemed pretty dead from the low volume of list mail. I also found
the forum, but it's not laid out well to find the latest conversations,
seems pretty archaic by modern web design standards, and has many threads
where the last updated date is many years old. In short, it also looks dead.

It seems that people are doing things, but communication is not well
organized.
