Retroactively assigning conversations to a new topic - Haskell

I wish we could retroactively 'group' convos in a topic. For example this discussion around type famillies could have been grouped in a topic of its own (whilst it still remains in the main #Haskell stream)

Bolt

Can anyone split a stream into a different topic?

@Sridhar Ratnakumar You can - by clicking on Message actions > View source / Edit topic, changing topic name and selection option to move all later messages

Oh very nice. That makes Zulip a worthy candidate. People start by interactive chat, and we 'evolve' it to be forum-like.

Sridhar Ratnakumar

BUT ... only the message owner can do this (edit and assign a new topic)

TheMatten

Should I change it?

Sridhar Ratnakumar

I didn't think that was possible. Maybe we can try it ... ?

TheMatten

Okay - we can revert this if something goes wrong :sweat_smile:

TheMatten

Done :slight_smile:
