In recent years, the need for supporting digital tools for team collaboration has increased. A central tool is a team chat. According to Wikipedia, a chat refers to "electronic communication by means of written text in real time, usually via the Internet" (Source). With a messenger team members can make each other aware of current information and especially share links (hyperlinks / links) for further collaboration (e.g. for finding appointments, collaborative writing, planning events, editing data, code, mind maps,).

The ideal is to deal with problems in a transparent way, from which all others can learn. This can be done by describing the situation in the ENVS main room - here problems and solutions can be discussed together:
#envs:envs.net
- official channel for envs.net
We have also two autojoin room's on our instance:
#home:envs.net
- welcome room ~ for local matrix instance member only (unfederated)#lounge:envs.net
- hang out in the #lounge | ~ offtopic chat ~
E-mail: hostmaster@envs.net
