--------------------------------
Summary: [Website] Mention Ursa Labs Zulip and ASF Slack on
Community page
Key: ARROW-16830
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-16830
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Wish
Components: Website
Reporter: Ian Cook
Assignee: Ian Cook
The Arrow developer community uses the Ursa Labs Zulip instance and some
Arrow-related channels in the ASF Slack instance for synchronous communication.
We should document this on the of [Community
page|https://arrow.apache.org/community/] of the Arrow website.
Some considerations:
* Can we provide public links that people can use to join both Zulip and
Slack? (From what I understand, yes for both.)
* The ASF Slack has very low message volume. Is there any harm done by
directing people toward a very quiet Slack channel? (IMO it is probably not a
problem as long as we set expectations appropriately.)
* By making these channels more accessible, will we increase misuse of these
channels? For example will people start reporting issues here instead of
through the appropriate channels? (IMO it will probably not create a
significant problem as long as we communicate what the appropriate use of these
channels is.)
* How committed are we in the long term to use of these Zulip and Slack
instances? (This is unclear to me, but even if we are not committed and might
soon abandon these and move to different synchronous communication channels,
this ticket and the associated PR should help to motivate more conversation
about this.)
