#### What is Matrix?
|
||||
[Matrix](https://matrix.org) is an open network for secure and decentralized
|
||||
communication. Users from every Matrix homeserver can chat with users from all
|
||||
other Matrix servers. You can even use bridges (also called Matrix appservices)

conduwuit is a fork of Conduit which is in beta, meaning you can join and participate in most

Matrix rooms, but not all features are supported and you might run into bugs

from time to time. conduwuit attempts to fix and improve the majority of upstream Conduit bugs

or UX issues that are taking too long to be resolved, or unnecessary Matrix or developer

politics halting simple things from being merged or fixed, and general inactivity.

#### Why does this fork exist? Why don't you contribute back upstream?
|
||||
|
||||
I have tried, but:
|
||||
- unnecessary Matrix / developer politics
|
||||
- bikeshedding unnecessary or irrelevant things in MRs
|
||||
- disagreement with how the upstream project is maintained including the codebase
|
||||
- upstream maintainer inactivity
|
||||
- questionable community members
|
||||
- lack of MR reviews or issue triaging and no upstream maintainer interest in receiving help
|
||||
- severe bugs, including denial of service and other likely vulnerabilities, not being merged due to things mentioned above
|
||||
- no interest in adding co-maintainers to help out
|
||||
I now intend on contributing back as time and mental energy sees fit, but my fork still exists as a way to:
|
||||
- avoid unnecessary Matrix and general developer politics
|
||||
- avoid bikeshedding unnecessary or irrelevant things in upstream MRs
|
||||
- Fast tracked bug fixes, performance improvements, security improvements, and new features
|
||||
- Have early access to MRs that may not be suitable/acceptable for Conduit (e.g. too niche, too advanced for general users, only being blocked due to pending on contributor actions that we can fix ourselves downstream, pending Matrix spec stuff, etc)
|
||||
- Support unspecced or WIP features
|
||||
- Have official support for other OS's like Windows, macOS, and BSD.
|
||||
- Have a **stable** testing ground for some MRs or new features and bug fixes
|
||||
|
||||
are what are keeping me from contributing. If the state of the upstream project improves, I'm
|
||||
willing to start contributing again. As is, I think if folks want a more polished and well-kept version of Conduit, conduwuit exists for that.

||||
And various other reasons that may not be listed here.
