I kind of hate Slack as well. But unfortunately it currently seems like the nicest place for real time chat.
I agree about the worries of divergence. We need to re-establish WOCommunity. As for the old wiki pages, I think they should just be plain abandoned and buried. There's more misinformation there than information. If we make a replacement I think it should be more of a blog-style, linking to articles that people can maintain themselves, like your Docker/WO work that I would love to hear more about :). - hugi > On 1 Nov 2020, at 18:09, Jesse Tayler <jtay...@oeinc.com> wrote: > > I hate slack but we could use a channel like that, I worry about any form of > divergence because we’re already few and far between > > I have had great luck with Docker and WO and have a few modern frameworks > that help keep our apps nicely modern and I’m actually really happy with the > results so I still love WO and haven’t found anything I could wield that kind > of power. > > I should put the Docker stuff into a WIKI page, but I’m also wondering about > the ‘old’ wiki and who’s maintaining any of that or if we should largely > start again or something. > > Ideas? > > > >> On Nov 1, 2020, at 1:06 PM, Hugi Thordarson via Webobjects-dev >> <webobjects-dev@lists.apple.com <mailto:webobjects-dev@lists.apple.com>> >> wrote: >> >> The Slack channel is in no way or form meant to be a secret.
