Re: [UG-ADMINS] Slack-Team for Usergroups available

I share a lot of the same concerns as Ben. If the solution makes sense to
allow the conversations to happen in IRC and Slack, I'm all for it.

Maybe I'm old school, but you can pry IRC from my cold dead hands.
Especially when there are great looking (and customizable) web based
clients such as https://www.irccloud.com

Side note: I'm glad to see this conversation happen here. I've noticed a
few conversations happen on twitter that I've missed because I've not been
able to stop what I was doing to contribute. never mind the fact that 140
characters is terrible for a conversation of any real depth.
