I've now created the non-public channels.

Regarding #work-requests, if that's a general thing, wouldn't that be better placed under the Government halls where Cabinet office etc. are? And going further, since Swifty also proposed a coop channel, maybe a single government coop channel in some fashion may be appropriate afterall.

Regarding #theme-project, #general-dispatches, #wiki-project, #recruitment-telegrams: I feel like these would better be served as forum threads for discussion rather than "one-off" channels, unless you feel like these would persist and be active?

Just a few suggestions, I think that the Cabinet should have access to the management channels of each ministry, and some of these "public" channels should only be accessible to those who are masked as citizens. I don't think many visitors would care much about some of these channels.

What I've done so far is to give the PM access to all channels. I can easily change this to include Ministers, whatever the incoming Cabinet prefers.

All channels here except theme-project are planned to be permanent. I agree we should have a general channel for promotion cooperation in government-hall though.

Can there be a Cabinet Office and a Cabinet/Advisor/Deputy Office?

as somethings are Cabinet only and other things the rest of y'all can be in?

This seems like it would lead to one of two being barely used. Wouldn’t it be simpler for any senior Cabinet-only discussions, where for whatever reason you don’t want anyone else to be able to see it, to take place in the SitRoom on the forums?

With two separate channels, I think what we’ll end up seeing is that either a) advisors/deputies channel is iced out and thus seldom used, or more likely b) the “seniors only” channel is barely used, as ministers want advisors and deputies to give their opinions. All other discussion would most likely be ministry-specific and take place in the ministry staff channels, right?

I see your point and I agree.

MoM, MoC, MoE and MoFA now finished.

MoD has the lowest priority as it's an incumbent minister with an existing setup, but I hope to get that done before transition ends as well (MoD is a bit tricky due to the special R/D masky thingies)

I'll work on rigging up Coco now to make sure she has bot commands for all the minister requests.

A few remaining questions:

• I've created all the channels without descriptions. If you can give me texts, I can set them for now; I'll provide a command to change it later.
  
• For now, I've only set the PM to always see all channels. I can change that if requested - please let me know what you all prefer.
  
• I've not gotten much input from all of you wrt forum setup.

Just a couple additional requests...

Discord

• Channels: Add an additional #mom-statistics channel
  
• Roles: Add a Journalism and Statistics role to MoM
  

And I'd mentioned my forum requests previously, but I think I'm going to revise that to only needing the main sub-forum for now.

During November I'm also going to need #nano-hangout unarchived if possible.

And for one more requested change, something like "#mom-drafts". Give it a channel description that says it is only for sharing links to document drafts, and not for conversation.
