SnoChat, https://chat.snomedtools.org, is the online, collaborative team chat application for SNOMED International. It is built upon Rocket Chat, an open source chat server and is similar to other tools such as Slack and HipChat.
We are providing our own server in order to store the full history of conversations and data, and to be able to provide a chat platform that both staff and the community can use without increasing costs from external service providers such as Slack. This service will replace our current use of HipChat.
If you are currently using HipChat, then this tool will be the tool you use going forward and the way it works will be familiar.
However, if you have never heard of HipChat, then you are welcome to come and try out SnoChat and set up private groups for your team.
