The link to slack contains the content I wrote in the issue. We digest the slack conversations every night and email them to the dev list so that I could have used a ponymail permalink instead.
Anyone can self signup for slack there are no approvals or prohibitions on who can sign up. We should remove that text it’s misleading but may be coming from slack itself. Will check it out. Here’s an example ponymail digest https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/6dc90a0226d48c43ef3ebeaab30c0e925a5c14605caf51c27dc1e04c@%3Cdev.openwhisk.apache.org%3E -r > On Jun 16, 2019, at 6:38 PM, Justin Mclean <justinmcl...@me.com> wrote: > > Hi, > >> There's a bit of discussion that can happen (and sometimes does) on >> the issue trackers which provide a bit more interactive yet >> asynchronous method of communication.
