Topic: how do I create a substream?

I want to make a substream in Argonaut for the connectathon how do I do that?
title : 2019-09 ArgonautR4/US Core Connectathon

A substream is just a stream that happens to have a "/" in its name. There's no relationship with the parent stream other than what happens automatically from alphabetic sorting.
Lloyd McKenzie (Aug 22 2019 at 18:56):
I'd discourage making a stream time dependent. Presumably an Argonaut Connectathon stream could be re-used over time and would not cause issues (as by the time you get to the 2020-01 connectathon, no one would care about the 2019-09 one)
Kevin Mayfield (Aug 23 2019 at 10:03):
Have we tried that substream approach... I'm thinking of implementers/UK or implementers/STU3 (probably the latter)
Kevin Mayfield (Aug 23 2019 at 10:03):
as a way of filtering implementers stream
Lloyd McKenzie (Aug 23 2019 at 11:53):
There already is a #uk stream. I haven't seen much in the way of STU3-specific questions that would justify its own stream.
Kevin Mayfield (Aug 23 2019 at 14:09):
Yes, I don't think their has been any UK implementation question in the UK stream. The odd one in the implementation stream....
I'm wondering why that's the case. Although, it's probably most developers/staff aren't comfortable posting on public forums (especially in the NHS)
Lloyd McKenzie (Aug 23 2019 at 14:35):
It's also common for newcomers not to be aware of all of the context-specific streams. As well, the audience is broader on the 'big' streams, so you tend to get an answer faster.
Kevin Mayfield (Aug 28 2019 at 09:16):
Is it possible to move topics between streams i.e. if a topic is UK specific we could move to UK?
Josh Mandel (Aug 28 2019 at 13:27):
Not currently
Grahame Grieve (Aug 28 2019 at 19:26):
just do it manually - create a topic in the new stream pointing at the old topic, then point the old topic at the new topic and ask people to move there (and hope they do)

In the UK activity has been pushed towards the Ryver forum hence diluting the traffic here. Whilst initially fairly busy, Ryver activity has now also diminished...
Richard Kavanagh (Sep 02 2019 at 15:34):
I don't think there is any need for UK sub stream unless the volume of activity increases substantially. Driving traffic ti the existing forum would make a lot of sense.
Kevin Mayfield (Sep 03 2019 at 13:43):
The desire is to encourage discussion from UK suppliers/nhs other than NHSD/developers and how best is to do that.
It's going on but not visible.
Richard Kavanagh (Sep 03 2019 at 15:46):
Fair point, though I don't think they are going to engage here on Zulip or indeed on Ryver - culturally it is not what they do.
As a UK supplier these days, it would be great to see more people here.
Kevin Mayfield (Sep 04 2019 at 11:52):
and also as a supplier (and last month consumer). :)
It's pretty obvious the questions I'm asking about GP Connect have also been asked before (but not publicly).
