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. -- D On October 5, 2016 at 11:21:04 AM, David LeBer (dleber_wo...@codeferous.com) wrote: 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. -- D On October 5, 2016 at 8:34:32 AM, Samuel Pelletier (sam...@samkar.com) wrote: 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.
