I’ll check those three places you mentioned, thank you!

Also, I’ll start a separate topic focused on the current priorities for chat.

Lastly, regarding e2ee for chat, any suggestions on how one might go about building a plugin to do it and in theory, how difficult or expensive it might be to build and maintain? Would the suggestion be to adapt the [Discourse Encrypt](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-encrypt) plugin or some other plugin/library?
