Slack and Formal Reviews
We need to solve the problem of review conversations taking place on Slack instead of the list. I would ultimately love a technical solution that allows discussions to also happen on Slack in a way that preserves the integrity of the review, and that might not be practical right this second. Therefore, I propose the following: 1. Formal review announcement will remind participants that conversations should happen on the list (and specifically mention that Slack should not be used) 2. If a Slack conversation is initiated during the review period, the review manager and library submitter will politely remind folks to move the discussion to the list. Perhaps some copy and pasting will be needed. 3. Periodic reminder from the review manager during the review process, if things get out of hand. 4. We explore ideas for how to incorporate other platforms into the review process. Mailing list participation is down, yet Slack participation is up. Ideally we figure out how to harness change instead of taking on losing battles. -- Regards, Vinnie Follow me on GitHub: https://github.com/vinniefalco
