We also use Rocket.chat at work. It’s quite nice.

wiki problem

2016-10-05 Thread Theodore Petrosky
I was just on the wiki. I have to say I was totally lost. I finally found the 
‘how tos’ section and tried to edit something that I was working on. I received 
a warning every minute "Error saving draft. No draft has been saved.”  I don’t 
know that this is a problem.

I add things here so I can find how I did something last year!

Re: slack question

2016-10-05 Thread David LeBer
This reminds me, back in the day, I belonged to the Mac Managers list. This 
list was unique in that it had a "questions and summaries only" policy.

You could post a question to the list, and if you did you were expected to post 
a summary with a resolution (or at least what you'd learned). All responses to 
your question were sent directly to you. It kept the signal to noise ratio on 
that group exceptionally high.

Anyway, maybe for folks actively using Slack (I think I got an invite, not sure 
though), you could adopt the 'summary' portion of that as a guideline. If 
someone posts a question to Slack, and hashes out an answer, they have a 
community obligation to write up a summary and post it to the list (or their 
blog - remember those? - or somewhere else persistent) for future reference.

Slack is great, and very conducive to banter and maintaining community, but it 
_is_ a chat platform, and as such, not such a great tool for knowledge 
retention.

Slack group the message in discussions and this is easier to follow a long

create a new channel (subject) in the group and invite new members.

Re: slack question

Apropos to this, Slack also has retention limits on it's free tier (number of 
messages & time I believe) - and a significant jump from free to its first paid 
tier. Which is why for a couple of other groups I work with we switched to an 
open-source/host your own solution (we chose Rocket.Chat) - which runs fine on 
a $10/mo VPS.

Slack is great, and very conducive to banter and maintaining community, but it

Hi,

I think the list is better for questions and slack for discussion. Discussions 
about the future, others subjects than WO pertinent to the community, beer, etc 
are better suited in Slack I think and have no interest for long term indexing 
and search.

Slack group the message in discussions and this is easier to follow a long 
thread without all the previous quotes we have in the email format. Anyone can 
create a new channel (subject) in the group and invite new members.

Re: slack question

2016-10-05 Thread Hugi Thordarson
No, the discussions on slack are entirely closed within the slack system which 
is a problem. I think it’s very wise to keep as many questions on the list as 
possible and try to use slack mostly for smaller discussions.
