A really interesting summary and I think that's a nice way of doing things - building a community around it is something we tried in the early days here with forums but we had little interest from users and the systems admins never had time to check them anyway. I'm curious whether it is an open channel or if you have some way for users to auth themselves to access it? Also do you use the free or paid version? The uni uses the free version for its involvement in the national cloud programme and the message limit it has can be annoying. When I was my previous job I ran a blog for a while (called syslog, forgive me!) about updates and changes, but again ran into the problem of too much work and too little time to keep updated.
