We moderate and maintain these lists. The Clojure/core team has no involvement with the creation or management of the Clojurians Slack channel. The community does not need our blessing to set up a discussion forum - we're happy to have more places for Clojure folks to talk about Clojure. I'd rather have the community decide what they want to do - we (the core team) are not looking to add additional moderation/admin duties beyond what we currently do. gee, why not? ;) Perhaps the new group that was established under the Software Freedom Conservancy could be of assistance in choosing and managing a preferred forum. link? I don't have time to figger out how to do this correctly at the moment, but some kind of survey of folks on the various comm. channels seems to be in order. Some topics, loosely: given what we (think we) know about slack, is that a prob? if we wanted to go elsewhere, where would that be? if we did go elsewhere, would you, too? etc. Volunteers? moving from slack to sth else would be a big job. I personally monitor (to varying degrees): the mailing lists, Slack, #clojure on irc, clojure subreddit, and Twitter and try to answer questions in those locations based on my available time to do so. for the record you and your colleagues (including all the volunteers) do an amazing job!
