Re: [Quickfixj-users] Slack Channel

[Christoph J. <chr...@ma...>]

I thought about it some more and don't think a Slack Channel is a good idea for the following reasons:
1. It is closed so cannot be accessed by anonymous users.
2. It cannot be searched by Google or similar. At least as far that I know.
3. A message archive of only 90 days is somewhat low, given that Stackoverflow, mailing list or github discussions are there forever.
4. Users might expect synchronous communication, I.e. that someone will immediately there to help them which will probably not be the case. I think slack is better for communicating inside an organisation where people will be online during regular hours.

Best regards
Chris
