Adam, I commend your enthusiasm, but you don't seem to really grasp
how open-source development works. You need to learn to fit in with
how things are done or all your publicity and energy will be futile
and a waste of effort.
These are mostly religious and philosphical battles. I always resisted
slack.. my primary reason is that I don't like "yet another thing to
check". Yet another program. And separate for each project.
This time I just joined to check how it is and follow this very active
group which might be of interest for GNUstep.
To be very honest, I dislike it, it is dispersive. I will stay for now
to see if there is development, butI am considering cancelling my
subscription.
The "group" discussions are quite bad.
Email is very good I think, but lacks the interactive part which is of
use for direct communication. IRC is not a proposable solution, it is
blocked in most corporate environments.
For now I wait and observe. Hyping "open source development methods" is
of o use either. Since when I need an interactive session with somebody,
I will resort to Skype, FaceTime or similar, because the alternatives
are totally inferior or not even offering similar functionality or are a
mess to setup. A bit of practical touch is needed. Especially waiting
for the open source to improve.
