通常可以通过几种不同的聊天服务联系 ImageJ 社区成员。
HOWEVER: It is often better to use the Image.sc Forum, rather than chat rooms, because:
-
Conversations in chat will be less discoverable later than those on the Image.sc Forum. The forum is a vital resource for the community, providing a searchable history of questions and solutions. Have you ever found the answer to a question on forum.image.sc? Now suppose that that discussion had happened in chat instead—would you have found that answer?
-
Most of the ImageJ community’s image analysis experts monitor the Image.sc Forum, not live chat rooms. The contract of the community is:
Experts give their time for free—but in exchange, that help is public, so that others may also benefit long into the future.
Here is a guide for when to use the Image.sc Forum versus chat services:
| Situation | Resource to use |
|---|---|
| I want to report a bug in the software. | See Reporting Issues |
| I need help analyzing my images. | Image.sc Forum, Image Analysis category |
| I need help managing my image data. | Image.sc Forum, Data Management category |
| I need help using the software tools. | Image.sc Forum, Usage & Issues category |
| I need help programming with the software tools. | Image.sc Forum, Development category |
| I want to discuss the ImageJ wiki (this website). | Image.sc Forum, Websites category |
| I have an announcement for the community. | Image.sc Forum, Announcements category |
| I have a job opening to advertise in the field. | Image.sc Forum, Job Opportunities category |
| Posting on the Image.sc Forum is too scary! | We try our best to be friendly! But if you are allergic to forums, and only chat sustains you, then go ahead and post on Zulip. |
| My topic is something less important to preserve as part of the community knowledge base: e.g. day-to-day project logistics, or time-sensitive discussion that will become less relevant after the fact. | Image.sc Zulip instance |

Zulip is an open-source alternative to Slack and similar tools. It is a nice way to discuss things with the ImageJ community in real time.

以前的聊天解决方案
Gitter。多年来，基于SciJava的软件开发人员使用Zulip的聊天服务讨论日常开发问题。但这些Gitter聊天室不再受到主动监控。
**在此之前，一些社区成员经常在#imagejdev和#fiji-devel聊天室中的irc.freenode.net上使用IRC。但是ImageJ相关项目的主动核心开发人员已经很多年没有监控这些房间了，而且自第Freenode “hostile takeover” of 2021开始，这些房间可能不再存在。这些渠道的聊天记录可以从here下载。
