Who could fix PM for Flarum

Braden

People nowadays dont like to read, but if you give them a place for chatting, can be a big flow of returning users

Two things have been discussed here:

OP's request to reinstate a private chat feature that is similar like Whisper, @davwheat seems to have a fork. I would suggest he publishes that as MIT under minimal maintenance (look at how @clarkwinkelmann does that for some of his extensions). Clearly mention fixes and features are only implemented when paid for; direct to Blomstra (subcontracting) or Discuss (bounty) for options.

Suggestions by others about Byobu relating to:

the private discussions mingling with others
the privacy implication of messages being read by staff
the need for a menu item that shows a count

I think these need to be separated if the expectation is that someone is going to need to take action on them. These can probably be moved into the Byobu discussion or started un Proposal with a potential outcome of being crowdfunded using a bounty.

luceos I think it's a good solution to at least make it easier to download the extension, as there is some confusion/unknown about this fork.

On the other hand, have you considered a well-maintained chat extension in the future by Blomstra in conjunction with Realtime?

Darkle as there is some confusion/unknown about this fork.

Yeah, my fork has a few patches that someone commissioned me to make a while back. I don't support the fork, but it should be useable in place of the original extension.

Here's the main set of changes: https://github.com/KyrneDev/whisper/compare/b5e0e6ffa490b54590301d747f0b0080930859cc...davwheat:whisper:master

Most of it was simple bug fixes and compatibility improvements.

I have.
But to respect our motto of "underpromise, overdeliver", we first have to complete the extensions we have lined up for their first release (Meta, GDPR, Realtime, Forseti) or those in need of more attention (Search, Payments). In addition you can understand that we would only build such a chat extension in case we would be able to meet most of the demand while guaranteeing a quality product. So, for now, the answer is that we're considering it, but nothing more.
