[swift-evolution] Official Swift Slack team?

[Guillaume DIDIER]

Hello World,

-1 on slack.

From experience, unless someone (apple) agrees to pay for it, slack will get pretty useless very quickly due to the 10,000 message limit.
Also, the invite only behavior of slack would put a rather annoying entry barrier.

If I were to suggest a technology to use for chat, I would suggest using Matrix (http://matrix.org), which could be easily bridged to an IRC channel (for the old bearded folks), is quite configurable and only limited by the server physical capacity.
