See below considerations from the Juneau posting on using their Slack chat vs email - I think it is also appliable for Taverna on Gitter use: ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Craig Russell" <[email protected]> Date: 10 Jun 2017 4:47 pm Subject: Juneau dev Slack experiment failing To: <[email protected]> Cc:
The juneau-dev slack experiment is failing. The channel itself is great for real-time discussions but completely fails for team collaboration and communication with the entire team. I'm just now finding out about a discussion held on slack about the juneau logo. Sad! I've asked infra tell us how to set up slack such that *all* messages in the dev-juneau slack channel are forwarded to the apache juneau-dev mail list daily? But more important, Slack really should be used only for information exchange that by necessity has a short shelf life. Demanding immediate action. The apache email channel is the way the team communicates and collaborates. Before posting on Slack, please ask yourself these questions: Can I wait an hour for a response to this message? Is there a larger audience for this message? Will I or anyone else ever want to see this message after next week? Would this message thread be useful for anyone else? Would a subject help others to find this message? Thanks, Craig P.S.
