A principle I have is that I lower the barrier for others to contribute the things I want to see more of. Rather than holding a Slack thread up as the apotheosis of documentation, I recognize that I am more likely to receive wisdom if I allow for a Slack thread to be sufficient. It's just a permanent link to a conversation.
This is reinforced by the additional fact that the people with the most I have to learn from are the people with the least time to teach me. So I minimize the effort I require of them to give me their best.
For instance, if I had a chance to ask Feynman stuff, I would happily accept answers in txtspeak with emojis and broken grammar. Sort of a personal Postel principle.
