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 
_is_ a chat platform, and as such, not such a great tool for knowledge 
retention.

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.
