We already agreed before that everyone should automatically have a wiki account, no matter what they signed up for. I think we may want to bundle more services like that, because they're cheap to run, and useful for anyone using Kosmos apps.

First thing that comes to mind is Sockethub, especially because it's not an obvious service to sign up for unless you know a lot about a very specific niche in Web technology.

Second would maybe be XMPP even. I.e. if you don't sign up for XMPP specifically, you would just automatically get an account that you may or may not use to connect to support chat rooms and such. This one makes sense, because of the user name/address having to be unique across services anyway.

We can probably take some inspiration from https://librem.one/ for these decisions.

We now have a Discourse for discussing ideas and suggestions, and there's a dedicated category for services:
