Slack is not an ideal platform for collecting open knowledge or data. In addition to what Thajesh has already mentioned, slack is a vendor lock-in which should be a big NO. Moreover, If I am not wrong, they don't let you browse post 10k messages in the free plan. Personally, I can live without one less account.
Not to mention that there is a non-zero probability they will be around after 5 or 10 years. The same argument applies to any centralized platform. Are there distributed alternatives to emails which has better support of structured knowledge management? best, Dilawar Singh, Ph.D. LinkedIn <https://www.linkedin.com/in/dilawar-singh-ph-d-44b81b194/> ORCID <https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4645-3211> Github <https://github.com/dilawar> On Sat, Dec 5, 2020 at 12:35 AM shaily sparsha <[email protected]> wrote: > Agreed for slack. > > On Fri, Dec 4, 2020 at 1:32 AM BNP Analytics <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> Agreed. >> A slack or discord channel will be good. >> Mainly as they may support better code sharing. >> >> >> On Tue, Dec 1, 2020 at 5:27 AM Akshay Aditya <[email protected]> >> wrote: >> >>> Just a message to everyone. >>> Instead of the usual format of emailing on the group or commenting on >>> the groups.
