Vote: Slack vs Github Issues?
Currently, "Github Issues" is the only platform for Q&A and discussion. I consider if it is necessary to have a Slack channel.
Slack channel is definitely a more convenient platform for interactive communication, but unfortunately, I don't have enough time to read and reply Slack messages quickly. I reply to all the questions in Github issues, but as you can see usually with a few days delay. Hence, if only I will answer the question in Slack, then there is no difference between Slack and Github Issues. However, if many users would like to join the discussion, then Slack seems a good way to try.
Let us have a vote here on if we should use Slack. If you would love to use Slack and join the discussion with other users, please leave a comment here. I will create a Slack channel if enough people would like to.
Also, welcome any other suggestions on how we can help each other!
I think https://www.discourse.org/ would be a better platform than Slack. It's used by many great communities in DL such as
https://discuss.pytorch.org/ https://forums.pytorchlightning.ai/ https://discourse.julialang.org/ https://forums.fast.ai/
etc. Otherwise, a very low-effort alternative is https://docs.github.com/en/discussions. Many repositories are using GitHub Discussions to offer a proper forum for Q&A, rather than abusing the GitHub issues.
Any updates about this? I would love to start contributing to this amazing library!
My current decision is
- For questions and Q&A on DeepXDE, we will still use GitHub issues and Discussions. https://www.discourse.org/ is a great platform, but at this moment, it seems that GitHub issues/Discussions seems good enough.
- For DeepXDE developers, I create a slack channel. Send me an email if you would like to contribute the code, and I will add you to the slack channel.
Can you add me to the slack channel, please?
Send me an email, or write down your email here, and then I will send you the slack invitation.
