This is awesome!

Ah this makes sense, I was going to comment that "docs" was not really a suitable name. What is the correct full name then? lasuite docs (judging from the logo, that seem to be the brand part)? docs numerique (from the URL)?

  numerique.gouv is like digital.gov. Kind of a whole ministry. La Suite Docs is better yes.

That said, calling the video conferencing capability "Visio" is à la banane.
- theflash666 2y ago
  "Visio" is French slang for a videoconference meeting. Open to suggestions for a project name that better reflects its purpose and vision.

    I love the effort that is going on here. I'm just curious about some of the efforts taken here. The Docs seems like a good approach to just build it, but really wondering what the motivation behind building another video chat platform was instead of using and improving rather mature OSS solutions like Jitsi.

    Visio is a Microsoft Office app: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/visio/flowchart-software https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/visio/flowchar...

    How about "Vidja" -- the .fr domain seems to be available, the top google hit is for an IKEA floor lamp, and it is generally a silly English mispronunciation of "video" (you kids and yer vidja games...) :)

Tchap looks neat as a Slack alternative, but it seems like it's still only for government workers.
- IshKebab 2y ago
  We use Mattermost at work, and apart from the mobile app being a bit shit, and search being kind of useless, it's easily as good as Slack. In some ways it's better, e.g. you can use proper Markdown in messages instead of Slack's Mrkdwn abomination that doesn't even allow links. I wish they would improve search though; it's kind of a critical feature in a company.
  - zellyn 2y ago
    ? I put Slack into non-rich-text-editor mode and use standard markdown link syntax dozens of times a day
    - IshKebab 2y ago
      Well maybe they've added that in the past 2 years but certainly 2 years ago you could only add links using rich text mode.
  - _zoltan_ 2y ago
    search is the #1 feature I use in our corporate slack (huge, huge instance). without search it's useless.
    - IshKebab 2y ago
      It has search, it's just very basic. Only searches for exactly what you put etc. I remember Slack's search being equally crap when I last used it a couple of years ago.
      - Zekio 2y ago
        sounds exactly like slacks search, except slack also doesn't find exactly what you put in sometimes... (think the indexing isn't very fast because sometime a day old message is impossible to search for)

  Huh? The linked site is https://github.com/suitenumerique/docs https://github.com/suitenumerique/docs which has the commits, readme, code comments, and issues in English. The github description links to https://docs.numerique.gouv.fr/ https://docs.numerique.gouv.fr/ which is available in English, French and German.

  Or maybe the target of tools developed by the French government is France. Not everything has to make sense worldwide. I would be happy to see the target expanded beyond just France, but there’s no need to be snarky about it not being the case right now.
- maelito 2y ago
  Or maybe not. Maybe Europe needs to focus first on building local software. Even in 2025, French devs are fare from fluent in English. Real question, not a rhetorical one.
- theflash666 2y ago
  Great point! this will be addressed and fixed within the week.

adding to this, it seems to me like most of the projects are yet to be open sourced. the github currently has docs and their video conferencing tool (which also looks great): https://github.com/suitenumerique https://github.com/suitenumerique
- manuhabitela 2y ago
  All the projects are already open sourced actually, but admittedly all don't have documentation as good as docs or meet. Still a wip :)

    Cool! Are they under a different GitHub org? I couldn't find grist or tchap
