I completely understand the concern about these channels being perceived as “official,” and I’m more than happy to make it explicitly clear on the page that they are not official PostgreSQL channels.
If it helps, I can include a prominent disclaimer at the top of the page, such as:
“Note: The following channels are not official PostgreSQL community channels. They are independently operated and may follow their own participation rules or guidelines.”
I’m happy to adjust the wording based on feedback from the core team, the CoC Committee, or the Diversity Task Force. Please let me know how you would like to proceed.
My goal in making this information available is to help newcomers and community members find the various places where PostgreSQL users gather and communicate, while ensuring that everyone who wants to get involved has the opportunity to do so. Many of these channels are currently more like insider information, and I’d like to make it easier for people to discover them, connect online, and participate—ensuring that no one is left behind in our open and welcoming community.
If this decision involves additional concerns—such as spam, moderation, or similar issues—I’m more than happy to think about possible solutions, including options like a membership gate. Please keep me honest with any concerns you might have, and I’m confident that we can work together to find a good way forward.
Please let me know how I can be of any help in that matter.
Thanks & Best wishes, Cornelia

Under this item, I plan to create several subpages that list all available social channels used by members of the PostgreSQL community (e.g., Slack, Telegram, Discord, etc.).This would help newcomers and community members discover where and how they can connect with others across the PostgreSQL ecosystem. Feel free to pick one of the following titles / headlines:
- Engage with the Community
- PostgreSQL Community Channels
- Community Communication
- Please let me know if this would be possible or if you need any further details from my side.
- I should have rights to edit subpages

Thank you very much for your time and support.

We currently only list such channels on the main website, because otherwise they can be seen as being "official" channels, in which case we need to be very careful to ensure the code of conduct applies (for example).I don't necessarily object to having a wiki page like this, but it would need to be *extremely* clear that these are NOT official PostgreSQL channels, and that they may have their own participation rules, outside of the standard community ones. We definitely need more opinions on this though - others on the core team or the CoC committee (as well as others) should give their thoughts as well.Dave PagepgAdmin: https://www.pgadmin.orgPostgreSQL: https://www.postgresql.org
