I agree we shouldn't rely on chat too heavily, it's much too easy to bury information in there and it doesn't scale to more people. It's nice to quickly coordinate on something or clarify some immediate questions but it should never get to the point of being the reference of anything. Once you see a link to slack info in Github or the mailing list, it's already a smell that we don't information where it belongs. It's ok to quickly discuss something and then put a conclusion or state of current thinking into the right ticket or mailing list discussion.
It's a completely different question if we want a user-level chat room somewhere for easy access and feedback (which needs volunteers for moderation and monitoring for questions etc). Personally, nothing for me but other people are better (or more tolerant) with sync communication. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
