Will there be any open source communication options?

Currently only Discord and Reddit are listed, but these bifurcate the community on lines of privacy, accessibility, and philosophy (open source tools for open source formats).

There is a Matrix integration to the main chatroom on discord: https://matrix.to/#/#jxl:matrix.org?via=matrix.org
Not sure if we should advertise it on the page though, since it seems to mostly bring spammers...

For communication around libjxl, there's of course also github.

Is the bridge down?

That's a bit ironic, as GitHub isn't really accessible either. It's similar in vein to Discord, being proprietary and discriminatory in nature. It took me 2 years to sign up on GitHub because their captcha system is absolutely broken. I wish mailing lists, IRC, and XMPP would make a comeback in more portions of the free software community.
