[PSF-Community] STOP THE INTRODUCTIONS

[Stéphane Wirtel]

Hi David,

For my part, I explained I won’t use the slack channel, because we risk to be asynchronous.
The priority channel is the mailing list.
Why:

1. The PSF manages the servers and the mailing lists
2. We have the archives for free, just download the files from the web interface
3. There is no limit on the Mailing List
4. We don’t need a bot to extract the discussion to an archive ;-)
5. It’s free
6. There is IRC for a real time chat
7. You want to share an image, share it on your google+ account, imgur and share the link
8. There is no quota on the documents, limited with slack excepted if you have a free account
9. It’s asynchronous, we can reply to a thread at any time (real interesting for an international community)
10. I already have a client on Linux, OS X, Windows, iOS, Android, ncurses, etc…

I already use a lot of communication tools, IRC, Jabber, Messenger, Slack, HipChat, ICQ, etc… but it’s too. 
It’s really boring to switch all the time and try to follow a thread or a topic :/


My 2 cents
