Opportunities

Looking for collaborative open source work, the matrix bridges seem to be a good opportunity. The IRC bridge could really use better UX and more information in its list of commands. The discord bridge seems to have hard-to-diagnose reliability (or maybe configuration) problems.

IRC

talking to the bridge bot is frustrating.

irc> !help
● !listrooms [irc.example.net] : List all of your joined channels, and the rooms they are bridged into.

even though an irc network is a parameter of listrooms, there is no way to list the connected networks, and the output of listrooms does not display the network along with the room name.

irc> !listrooms
 You are joined to 9 rooms:    
● #pdxtech which is bridged to !yprnVafZrOwSFqhhVa:donp.org (https://matrix.to/#/!yprnVafZrOwSFqhhVa:donp.org), !EyMeZAsDFvYQNLMNmM:donp.org (https://matrix.to/#/!EyMeZAsDFvYQNLMNmM:donp.org)

Maybe if we give it a bogus network "abc", the error message will be enlightening

irc> !listrooms abc

nope. same output. also why are the room names the matrix-native ID and not one of the human-friendly ones. the matrix.to link clutters the output. !listrooms is too long for a command - the word 'list' is redundant. !rooms !servers would be a good start.
