Why?
It is a great advantage of slack over email / in person that you can later find two people you've never met discussing something similar to your problem, follow their historical discussion, and possibly find a solution.
Or even your own previous conversations for issues deemed too minor to record in a more 'official' record (like a jira ticket, or project documentation).
- philwelch 9y agoIf you have an internal wiki, email list archives, and maybe an internal StackExchange and set up an ElasticSearch cluster over the whole works, you can answer pretty much any question in a one stop shop.
