Does anyone know of a plugin that accomplishes something along the lines of what Donut does in Slack?
If not, that could be something super interesting to try & build to drive more 1-on-1 engagement in communities…

A pairing plugin is definitely something that’s come up within the team before, but I don’t believe we’ve done much more than outline some specs for it.
It would basically take two users from a group, and on some trigger (manually, recurring time, etc) it would add them both to a custom PM.
Does that cover what you’d be looking for? Are there any specific features from Donut you’d like to see?

Isn’t that what Mingle - An Introductions Plugin does?

Hi Tobias, awesome – I wasn’t aware of this. Looking into it now!
Hey Kris – yes, this is exactly what I had in mind. The main thing I was looking for is the pairings on a weekly basis with two members that haven’t met before.
Note: An added feature/caveat would be that it pauses when all members have met until new members join and doesn’t re-introduce the same people multiple times but I believe that is implied…

Ah, it’s such a shame. Looks like Mingle is no longer being maintained – something like this in core would be excellent to drive engagement…
Is the plugin broken? If it is we should move it to #plugin:broken-plugin.
Not sure. I tried installing it and it threw a 502 Bad Gateway error. I described the issue in more detail here:
And then I noticed other people running into issues with it:
Just checking in – is there any update on whether Mingle has been discontinued & if there is enough demand to build something like this into core/an official plugin maintained by Discourse?
Best,
Alex

i double down on this feature request & Mingle resurrection calling…
Since donut seems to fullfill a great demand for Slack communities, i expect this would also be the case for communities under Discourse?!
i would find it great on my side.
Tks.
