Communication
We shall be using the Telegram app as our main mode of Communication within the WazeMY/WazeBN editor environment.
WHY?
WazeMY Official Telegram Groups
WazeMY Official Telegram Groups are be divided into 2 main clusters:
RESIDENT GROUPS are further divided into 3 more clusters:
1) WazeMY Regional Groups: For the purpose of lock-lowering, lock-raising, & place moderation requests only for map edits within the specific region. These groups are administered by the appointed Regional Manager (RM).
Note: WazeBN editors have their own chatgroup for the same purpose in Brunei, care of the WazeMY RM.
2) WazeMY Communal Groups: For discussions besides lock-lowering, lock-raising requests, & place moderation.
3) WazeMY Special Groups: For discussions among Wazers with given specific functions and tasks e.g. Local Champs (LCs), Area Managers (AMs), Beta App Testers, Beta WME Testers, Localizers, Social Media Admins, Wazeopedia, & Connected Citizens Program (CCP) Partners.
Examples of AD HOC GROUPS are groups that are created for meetups and MapRaids.
WHY?
- All messages, images, videos and documents are saved in the Cloud server.
- The web/desktop version does not need to be tethered to your phone.
- You can edit sent messages.
- You can delete/unsend messages sent out by mistake.
- If you are 'mentioned' or 'replied' in a group that you have muted, you will still be notified.
