 **How it works**: DokuWiki uses the same user account system as other apps on the Cloudron system. All MEDLab team members have edit access; Nathan has admin access. **How it works**: DokuWiki uses the same user account system as other apps on the Cloudron system.

-**What it is**: GitLab is an open-source code collaboration platform, similar to GitHub. We mainly use GitLab for this purpose, but occasionally it makes sense to use GitHub instead, because it is more widely used by others.

-**How it works**: Create an account on GitHub.com, and Nathan can grant you access to relevant projects.

 **What it is**: [[https://matrix.org|Matrix]] is a FLOSS communications protocol intended to be a highly secure backend for chat, email, social media, and other applications. It is still early-stage, but it a very promising project, and it has already been adopted by several European governments seeking to reduce their dependence on US-based software companies. Rather than relying on centralized companies, it enables both federated and peer-to-peer connections. Our own instance is currently not federated with the wider Matrix network, as we only use it internally, but we could add this functionality if we see fit. We use Element, which is the flagship Matrix client; Element used to be called "Riot," which is why that's in the URL on NextCloud. **What it is**: [[https://matrix.org|Matrix]] is a FLOSS communications protocol intended to be a highly secure backend for chat, email, social media, and other applications.

-**How it works**: Access it through the Element client from within NextCloud, or using a Matrix-compatible mobile app (such as the one also called Element). The server is hosted on Cloudron at matrix.medlab.host (which you only need to know if you're logging in through a mobile client; the Web client already knows this). When first logging in, it will ask you to create a security key, which is a long series of characters. Keep that someplace safe. Hopefully you won't need to use it very often. Log in with the same credentials you use for NextCloud.+**How it works**: Access it through the Element client from within NextCloud, or using a Matrix-compatible mobile app (such as the one also called Element).

-Element does not support threaded discussions, but you can reply to others' posts. Use lots of reaction emojis! If you want to send an email notification to everyone in the room, include ''@room'' in your message. You can also notify individuals with ''@[username]''.
