I like slack, but don’t like that I’d not be able to see past history unless: - it’s a continuous asf paid account - login to slack - write a bot to archive (guess that isn’t so bad) - in the event asf moved away from slack in the future or goes defunct or gets bought out, what to do with past data
So to sum: Id like the data open and free to search (via google even) - but I do use slack for many foss groups We could offer slack as an avenue but make note that any real questions that require a more thorough response be initiated via mail list or by issue tracker. I.e non supported com channel but it’s there -Jason > On May 12, 2019, at 10:18 AM, Leif Hedstrom <zw...@apache.org> wrote: > > > >> On May 11, 2019, at 23:35, James Peach <jamespe...@me.com.invalid> wrote: >> >> >> >>> On May 12, 2019, at 3:32 PM, Leif Hedstrom <zw...@apache.org> wrote: >>> >>> Note that this is the ASF workspace, not just ATS.
