Re: Hangout on Slack?
I'm not such a huge slack fan, but I'm also becoming curmudgeonly. Sure,
why not? If that's where people want to gather. You creating a room? How to
make it "official"?

The way I see it IRC / Slack are for quick ad-hoc questions, mostly
between the devs, not a replacement but an addition to mail lists.

Sean could probably confirm, but I believe Apache policy requires that
discussions/decisions happen on the dev list. So, IRC/Slack is probably
fine for user requests, but project direction happens in mailing list. Then
there's the question of searchable archives. Are IRC/Slack channels
archived so users 3 months later can find the answer that someone else
posted? Again, Apache has policies that dictate this as well.
I'm not saying don't do it. I'm asking what your objective is.

Re: Hangout on Slack?

So slack has these cool features: code snippet support, file transfers,
personal history (see what you missed), plugins support (for jenkins, etc).
But we advertise in hbase book that we have an irc channel (
http://hbase.apache.org/book.html#trouble.resources.irc,
http://hbase.apache.org/book.html#irc).
Which should we choose going forward?
The main goal is to hangout in a room so that it's easy to ping people for
short discussions/clarifications.
