<html><head></head><body>The archival process of the mailing list makes searching for past issues possible. Slack, and irc in general, is a more closed garden than a public archived mailing list. <br>

That said, irc/slack is good for immediate interaction between people, say, gluster user with a nightmare and a knowledgeable developer with deep understanding and willingness to assist.<br>
<br>
If there's a way to make a debug/help/fix session publicly available, and crucially, referenced in the mailing list archive, then irc/slack is a great additional communication channel.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On November 8, 2017 4:22:44 PM EST, Amye Scavarda <amye@redhat.com> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
