I apologize in advance for muddying the waters here with yet ANOTHER external tool suggestion, but I'd like to point out the existence of Quip. It's virtually identical to Slack in capabilities and look-and-feel, but also includes google-doc style docs and a Confluence-style collaborative environment. The docs are especially suited for software development since you can embed code examples with automatic syntax highlighting. I was skeptical at first, but I've been using it for a couple of months, and it's a REALLY easy tool to use (WAY easier than Confluence which is annoyingly buggy). I was skeptical about yet another chat tool, but it really is a nice overall collaborative environment.
https://quip.com/about/tour Quip is now owned by Salesforce which donates 1% of it's profits through free licensing/hosting of its products to non-profit organizations. I'm confident that we could get free hosting for Apache. And it really is an awesome product IMHO. On Wed, Mar 29, 2017 at 9:17 AM, John D.
