I previously floated with a couple of PMC members the idea of posting new
Stack Overflow/Stack Exchange questions to the #cassandra Slack channel.
The motivation for doing so include:

   - Promote/advertise the questions (AND answers) on Stack Overflow +
   Stack Exchange.
   - Answers on the Stack network are SEO-friendly unlike Slack
   conversations.
   - Asking on the Stack network reduces duplication for already-answered
   questions.

It was suggested that I do some research on whether other Apache projects
are already using the Slack integration but I haven't been successful in
finding any previous Jira tickets or info on ASF wikis so I logged a ticket
with the ASF Infrastructure team to ask (a) if it's been requested before,
and/or (b) if it's allowed (INFRA-24004
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-24004>). The Slack-Stack
integration hasn't been requested before but Infra thought it was a good
idea and implemented it before I've had the chance to circle back to the
PMC for next steps.

In any case, does anyone have concerns about the notifications in Slack? Do
you foresee any issues with it? Cheers!
