Beta/invited users - your feedback is needed

First post - after the creation of the user account…

looks great. i’m happy to moderate something if you still need folks. suggestions???

Maybe I missed something, the openedx slack forum and this new discussion forum are planned to exist in parallel?

yes definitely - the thing that’s being deprecated are our Google Groups.

Slack fills its own need and will definitely continue.

Slack is meant for synchronous discussions. Discourse is better for asynchronous, and provides better tools for high-quality discussions.

What do you think? Is the overlap confusing?

Hi Ned,

agree about the use of slack and discourse in general, but newbies and people who is searching for help to different topics will find overlapping categories and threads on both channel.

The question is on which channel should the community keep an eye to help each other in trouble shooting?

As I see it, people will decide for themselves which kind of discussions they want to have, and so, where to hang out. We’ll try to make clear what they are for, and how they differ.
