Hi, Slack is quite efficient I think. You can have moderated channels and public channels (still requires a slack id though). It is always better to go with something that have some sort of notification systems for mobile and desktops. Free service includes browsing 10k most recent messages (rest are archived). Shouldn't that be enough?
Btw, is there a telegram group for Ubuntu-Gnome? I couldn't find it. May I also join? Thanks. On Sun, Feb 21, 2016 at 7:39 PM, Leo Francisco <li...@boywithwings.co.uk> wrote: > Thanks for that Popey.
