Interesting read Dav - re: Slack
I can see that he is comparing Slack to Github (not email).

But, I too, am happy to go with the flow.

I think an email archive also has good affordances, especially for putting 
together a curriculum vs. a software project.

But I'll try to keep up with whatever the broader group wants to do.

Re: [discuss] NLP Carpentry

2019-07-22 Thread Bennet Fauber 
Agreed.

Slack is not a good place for persistent, open conversations that will
end up shaping how lessons, code, and policies are implemented.  At my
day job, we have several years of lost conversations, policy
decisions, and links to useful things that disappeared into the
history that isn't displayed without paying.  Not a good tool for
things it's not good at.

It is good for things that can be dealt with quickly and that do not
need long-term recollection or that will have ramifications beyond a
few days.  Good tool for what it's good at.
