I prefer using a Slack / discord channel, which has become a common trend in the open source community. Unlike a formal and broadcasting communication like a mailing list, Slack/Discord/IRC allows for more peer-level interactions. While it's not mandatory to check another communication channel, it's beneficial to provide an opportunity for discussion. However, important decisions or discussions should still be shared on the mailing list to ensure *wider *visibility (If it didn't happen on the Mailing List, means it didn't happen", The apache way [1]) Like this quote
Adding a Slack link to the Hive website should suffice, as it offers a chance to attract new participants and foster community building. We need to build a community, we need to provide opportunities to talk, to learn, to share ideas and code. A community must be open, and needs to open the door for everybody who is interested about it. -Attila On Fri, May 19, 2023 at 11:45 AM Ayush Saxena <ayush...@gmail.com> wrote: > I won't even suggest people to get into any dev related discussions on > slack, some casual stuff/conversations is ok, It was there in the doc > around irc channel, I just updated it and didn't want to say no to > anyone interested to join.
