Hi. I am a complete Drupal newbie and am a bit lost. Hope you will be able to help / point me in the right direction....
I want to use Drupal 8 to ensure my projects have longevity, however I am finding that quite a few modules are not ported/reauthored for V8.
More specifically, I am interested in a module to enable members of my site to communicate with each other. PrivateMsg would have been great, but it is not in Drupal 8 and the author has indicated that he does not have time to do it either :(.
Do you have any module recommendations or is it something I can achieve simply by using the core features e.g. a message content type or even comment module?

There's often not a lot of options when it comes to D8 contrib, but if I were doing a d8 now that needed this i would go with https://www.drupal.org/project/private_message.
Thank you
Private Message is relatively new, but I guess that can be said about most D8 contribs currently. I also noticed another very similarly named module (Message Private - https://www.drupal.org/project/message_private), although it is still in alpha and only has 32 installs currently. Just putting it out there if anyone else comes around asking the same question as me. I think I will go with your suggestion though. Thanks for the recommendation WorldFallz.
