## Matrix Community
These Community Guidelines apply to the entire
[Continuwuity Matrix Space](https://matrix.to/#/#space:continuwuity.org?via=continuwuity.org&via=ellis.link&via=explodie.org&via=matrix.org) and its rooms, including:
### [#continuwuity:continuwuity.org](https://matrix.to/#/#continuwuity:continuwuity.org?via=continuwuity.org&via=ellis.link&via=explodie.org&via=matrix.org)
This room is for support and discussions about Continuwuity. Ask questions, share insights, and help
each other out while adhering to these guidelines.
We ask that this room remain focused on the Continuwuity software specifically: the team are
typically happy to engage in conversations about related subjects in the off-topic room.

For off-topic community conversations about any subject. While this room allows for a wide range of
topics, the same guidelines apply. Please keep discussions respectful and inclusive, and avoid
divisive or stressful subjects like specific country/world politics unless handled with exceptional
care and respect for diverse viewpoints.
General topics, such as world events, are welcome as long as they follow the guidelines. If a member
of the team asks for the conversation to end, please respect their decision.
### [#dev:continuwuity.org](https://matrix.to/#/#dev:continuwuity.org?via=continuwuity.org&via=ellis.link&via=explodie.org&via=matrix.org)
This room is dedicated to discussing active development of Continuwuity, including ongoing issues or

track progress.
