Slack can be used via a web browser, which I think would fit your criteria, Shawn. I’ve been using Slack at my past two jobs, one installation with ~50 people where it recently displaced Flowdock and the other with ~500 people where it displaced a mix of Campfire, IRC, and email. I’ve found it to be an excellent chat tool, though I have occasionally found it overwhelming when too much planning is happening in a streamed, conversational medium. Some things are just better by email; it’s got its place. -mike. ---------------------------------------------------------------- michal migurski- contact info and pgp key: sf/ca http://mike.teczno.com/contact.html _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
