So, back on topic.
They are stale on everything except twitter.
Boo. Hope they get going soon, I'd hate to loose such a great resource.

ZT announced a new community thing nine hours ago.
Where?
They announced on the Twitter feed which is doing a few posts per day. It's available in a new tab on the my.zerotier.com site.
It is some slack thing.
-
Weird
-
An IRC replacement I guess.
-
@scottalanmiller at least I got an answer finally.
-
Oh good.

No we are not dead. Quite the opposite. We're growing a lot and have been very busy.
(1) We did finally push a Chocolatey package update but it got kicked back. We're going to have to institute more of a process for maintaining our vast surface area of ports and packages. It's horribly annoying since every package manager and package repository has its own unique way of being a pain in the you-know-what.
(2) Windows auto-updates as of 1.2.0. 1.2.6 will be coming pretty soon.
(3) Yes we did rev our community system yet again. We're trying to iterate toward something as low-friction and interactive as possible.

Also IRC isn't gone. The IRC FreeNode #zerotier channel is linked to that chat system's #general channel bidirectionally by a bot.

Is this actually a slack thing? or just slack-like?

Mattermost is an open source slack alternative if you interested setting up one.

It's great. We opted for Rocket and have been on it for a year. Both are great.
-
@scottalanmiller what are you using RocketChat for, internal company discussion?
-
@scottalanmiller Have you used both? I was curious if there were any significant differences that might sway me to Rocket. I did some research between the two but didn't really see a reason to choose one over the other.

The chocolatey package was never approved and then abandoned by @adam-ierymenko
I emailed a general support inquiry to chocolatey and had a very helpful response.
tl;dr: We'd be happy to help Adam get this through to a trusted status, but it does need to be a silent install. And what he's mentioned twice for driver install is a solved problem among quite a few packages - driver installs can be silent. We've pointed to the Virtualbox package as an example, but there are others that do the same as well.
Feel free to read over the notes from the rejected version, especially near the end - we've given Adam a direct link to an existing package that installs a driver and asked him to look closer. If folks can't be bothered, there is not much we can do, but as Gary indicated, the community repository is meant to have high quality packages that install completely silently. That can sometimes be challenging because Windows and weirdness, but we haven't received much feedback from Adam about why he is not able to look into emulating what other packages do. We really haven't received much feedback at all.
Check it out: https://chocolatey.org/packages/zerotier-one/1.2.4
And for context, this is the notes we left in the previous version from a year before:
-
I looked at the VirtualBox packages, and I have some thoughts, but do not know enough.
According to the Chocolatey team, this is not hard and it seems to me that ZeroTier just does not care as they never followup.
