There must be a middle ground between "anyone can join a channel" and "you need to sign an NDA", right? You seem to be suggesting that IRC is already a lost cause, which seems dangerous since Slack is basically unavailable to newcomers. I'm not a diehard IRC fan and Slack hater. If we could move all chat communication to Slack, require user registration, and reasonably open up or lock down channels as needed, I'd be happy with that. dao _______________________________________________ governance mailing list governance@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/governance
