However, authors/shepherds are welcome to use an alternative room if they prefer - please advertise it in #matrix-spec:matrix.org though and link to it on the github issue. N.B. that #matrix-dev:matrix.org is for developers using existing Matrix APIs, #matrix:matrix.org is for users trying to run matrix apps (clients & servers); #matrix-architecture:matrix.org is for cross-cutting discussion of Matrix's architecture. - Iterating on the proposal and gathering consensus can sometimes be time-consuming; an impartial 'shepherd' can be assigned to help guide the proposal through this process. - Once the proposal has sufficient consensus and passed review, you **must** show an implementation to prove that it works well in practice, before a spec PR will be accepted. Iterate on the proposal if needed.
