    Hi August,

    You may like to adjust some permissions. I think I just changed the
    name of it for everyone! Sorry, I thought that it would only rename
    for me. Or does it?

    It renamed it for everyone. I think I have the permisions fixed now.

    Meanwhile a new fido echo for the TgM/Fido topic might be good.

    This area already kind of serves as such... But a clearer area tagname (so implicitly a new area), might be usefull.

    Bye, Wilfred.

    Hi August,

    A new echomail area TELEGRAM. Or TELEGRAM.FIDONET would
    be a good idea though, I think. Or can a gated area have
    different names on the Telegram and Fidonet side? Than it
    can be TELEGRAM on the fidonet side and FidoNet on the
    Telegram side. ;-)

    Telegram produces an ID # for every group. Stas' bot uses the ID #. The name can change on the TgM side at any time and and the activity is unaffected. That is my understanding of it.

    Ok, good, so we don't have to worry about the tagname...

    Bye, Wilfred.

    Hi Stas,

    Ok. Let's do it!

    Or can a gated area have different names on the Telegram
    and Fidonet side?

    Yes. The name of the group now may be completely different from ECHOTAG. Such groups even already exist.

    Than it can be TELEGRAM on the fidonet side and FidoNet
    on the Telegram side. ;-)

    Yes. It can be that way.

    I really liked both of your ideas. We can create a FIDONET.TELEGRAM group associated with TELEGRAM.FIDONET echo and/or link the FidoNet group with the TELEGRAM echo. It is very important that they are international and it is desirable to have one of these groups open, public.

    Not to confuse people to much I think the names should be the same on both sides. So how about TELEGRAM.FIDONET, unless someone has a better idea?

    Bye, Wilfred.
