Cool! This is what I would like to see happen.
As Rodric said, properly organized channels and the use of threads help
quite a bit.
But the lack of history on free channels is a real blocker. For example,
we have a focused Slack channel #performance on the OpenWhisk slack. But
because of the limited history, you can't see any of the conversations
before April 25.
Similar for #kubernetes. You can look back a month or so, but then the
history gets truncated by the free-level restrictions.
