Handy information for volunteers

Please consider the Telegram group a high-priority channel and avoid using it for non prioritaire work. There are other channels (IRC, email, wiki) for those. In spirit of that priority, we encourage our volunteers to keep that group with sound/vibration on, so that hi-prio things get priority ;)
