(Careful, there was a typo here: it’s https://gettogether.community/ with an h)

Looks good. I guess the plan would be to use this instead of the usual
wiki pages. In that case, a bit of wiki gardening to reflect that
direction would be a good idea.

The privacy policy mentions possible collection of identifying data,
but nothing about being able to get them erased. I *think* the website
is not compliant with GDPR. What do you reckon?

I am thankful for that! I want to encourage people around me to use
it, but lack of localization is an issue. Is it on your roadmap?

The service also looks like something the GNOME Foundation could more
actively support. Even if it’s not GNOME branded (and I think it
should remain so), it helps us with our mission. If the cost of
running that service starts to be a problem for you, consider reaching
out to the board of directors about it.

Cheers,
