There are already various museumy Slacks but none with real traction that I know of. In general I prefer old-fashioned mailing lists because anyone can find and access the archives (and they keep more than the last 10,000 comments).

I'm sure James will pop back soon to explain Slack for those wondering what on earth we're on about! :)

Cheers, Mia

We use with select projects and initiatives at Serpentine, especially for digital projects with external collaborators - but have yet to dare trying to shift the organisation over. Any relevant material or write ups on managing those kinds of transitions inside an organisation appreciated!

Strong institution-wide use of Slack over here, across dev and editorial teams.

Asking for a friend ...

 

How many of you are are actively using Slack in your organisations, and does anyone work somewhere where it has been been blocked for 'security reasons'?

 

Thanks, James
