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

Raddoppio questa richiesta di funzionalità e chiamo alla resurrezione di Mingle…
Dato che donut sembra soddisfare una grande richiesta per le community di Slack, mi aspetto che questo sia anche il caso per le community sotto Discourse?!
Lo troverei fantastico da parte mia.
Grazie.
