Hi, tison I'm Weibin from GraphAr community.
Thanks very much for your support and feedback on GraphAr. For the questions about communication channels, here is our plan: 1.Google Group Channel: Once GraphAr enters the Apache Incubator, our plan is to archive the existing Google Group mailing list and migrate to 'd...@graphar.apahce.org' mail list. We want to transfer the archived content to the 'd...@graphar.apahce.org', if feasible. By doing so, we can ensure the discussions on the Google Group are preserved and accessible to the community. 2. Slack Channel: We intend to continue maintaining the Slack channel as an additional real-time communication platform for both users and developers. Slack provides a convenient and efficient means of real-time communication. It can serve as an additional tool for people to connect with the GraphAr community.
