# Zulip

[Rust's Zulip](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com) is used by a number of teams, notably
the compiler, language, and library teams, along with their working groups.

I'm a little uncertain about the phrasing here. I think it depends on the perspective, but I wouldn't consider Zulip to be the primary communication channel. There are a few different considerations:

  • One could say our primary communication channel to those outside of the project is the blog.
  • I would suspect that there is actually more activity on GitHub, and our primary communication channel for tracking issues, active work, etc.

Maybe this means something closer to "the primary chat platform for Rust Project members to discuss project topics" or something along those lines?

I would almost recommend removing this sentence about who uses it, since there are far more groups and teams using it. Maybe if the previous sentence is adjusted, it would convey the same meaning as "rust project team members use this tool".


Zulip can be an unintuitive platform to get started with. To get started, take a
look at the [getting started
guide](https://zulipchat.com/help/getting-started-with-zulip). For more detail,
examine the [Zulip user documentation](https://zulipchat.com/help/)!

We require all Rust Project members to have a Zulip account, so that we have a way of contacting all Project members[^zulip-fcp].
