Amazing summary and inspirational - thanks. Do you allow groups to create private chat rooms that are invite-only? Having that debate at the moment in our team.

- evolve2k 13y agoDon't remember the link but one of their articles taught talked on chat vs email was the benefit o retaining organizational knowledge, staff can go and be staff come and you can still join the same chat group for a topic and get up to speed. I think then that their intention is to have most chats open and people can break out new groups when a bunch of discussion starts to be of topic, implying it needs a topic of its own.
- bnferguson 13y agoChat is completely open, anyone can join any room and anyone can see the full history of that room. This isn't just development, even Legal and HR have rooms. If you need to have something that exists as institutional knowledge Issues is a good way to go, but we try to hook Chat convos into Issues. Hubot is setup to post comments in an Issue when someone posts a link to an Issue in Chat. Great for looping that synchronous convo into the async stuff. If you need to be more private, in person, email, or Bluejeans is the way to go.
