#welcome is not necessary there is already a bot in place that provides a welcome message and displays a command for help for newcomers
#help is not necessary too, Discord has a search capability which could be potentially used from inside a Pharo image but again the question is who is going to do this #mooc , I am not against this idea but again we had a student yesterday asking for help that is following Mooc , I had no problem providing it and he had not issues with the process of getting his question aswered in #general channel. If he asked at #mooc I would have missed it because I am not going to keep a mind in all channels. For general questions I would prefer , even if they are mooc related , to be at #general channel, lets not fragment our discussions for little justification, but for very mooc discusions, like where to find a specific teach or reports of errors in mooc it makes sense to have a mooc channel. My policy is to point an admin for each channel , channel admis are diffirent than us general admins, we have full power they can only 1)manage message in a specific channel 2) manage webhooks (for example github commits or rss feeds) 3) create instant invites so if there is one person that is willing to become a mooc admin i will create the channel and add his as admin On Sun, Apr 9, 2017 at 5:33 AM Ben Coman <[email protected]> wrote: > Could we have additional channels: > > #welcome - which would be the generally advertised invite URL.
