Consider using Slack? #1765

Do we need to pay $ for this? |
There is a no cost tier. Paying allows for an unlimited message history. |
A slack space has been created for the BSSw Fellows. Lets discuss this after Dec 2023 if this needs to be renamed to BSSw.io |
completely disagree! https://usrse.slack.com/archives/C8ZB01CGH/p1697142504834389
literally, since this is on github, github discussions is much better! "Issues" can just be specific to the website. |
Do we want to discuss this? |
Generalizing the name and purpose probably makes sense. That said, what is this giving us we don't already have via email? This gives us options to consider using the space for either or both of:
I think this (private) purpose is already served by email. Unpaid slack tier (which won't keep all messages in perpetuity) is no different from email IMHO and I find slack notifications a pain. It often notifies me (and I've found no way to turn it off) even for things that don't include me.
Well, interacting with the rest of the world is a different purpose. I suspect email is likely unfavorable for that. At least, I don't think most of the younger gen uses email much, do they. That said, why not GitHub discussions then.
I am opposed to slack. Its harder to edit there (I write in markdown natively now), its another app I need to run, its constantly changing their interface, permissions, notifications, etc. And, I think it offers no advantages over GitHub discussions. I vote for
We should advertise the latter on bssw.io site so people know where to go to jump in bssw.io discussions. |
We needed to create a new Slack space for the BSSwF and I suggested naming it BSSw instead of being specific to the fellowship. This gives us options to consider using the space for either or both of:
This is not something we have to decide now. The workspace is there (technically it is bssw-workspace.slack.com) and we'll be using it for fellowship stuff regardless.
