As I'm writing up the announcement to the community, I realize that we need to offer some way to request an invitation. I think an admin, likely @emilypi, would need to do something at https://haskell-foundation.slack.com/admin/shared_invites.
So there's no general way to do this with Slack, unfortunately. It's "anyone with the link is invited" - we can only shut off the need for admin approval, which it is. We can pipe people to email for making slack requests, like
contact@haskell.foundation
(orslack@hf
if we want a dedicated email), and publicly post our Slack invites. The FP Slack has a static invite link on the Haskell reddit, and it seems to be accessible enough from that location to attract a few thousand members.These are the only settings available:
Does that mean that one email-generated link can be used thousands of times? That sounds like a general signup link to me.
If I'm misunderstanding this, though, then maybe a
slack@hf
address is a good idea.I believe it's a general signup link, yeah. But don't quote me on that. I'm not sure if it can be reused. I have only seen that it expires after 4 weeks, so it needs to be continuously updated.
Let me turn this around: I'm asking the Slack admin to tell me "how do I advertise to people that they can easily get onto our Slack instance?" If it's a refreshed URL, an email address, "ask a friend," etc, all are acceptable. I just want to know the official way to tell people to do it.
@emilypi ping. We discussed this briefly earlier today, but I think this task is in your court before this MR can merge.
@emilypi ping again?
The link is https://join.slack.com/t/haskell-foundation/shared_invite/zt-mjh76fw0-CEjg2NbyVE8rVQDvR~0F4A. I went to add this myself, but I can't edit this MR, as it's o @emilypi's fork. @emilypi could you please add this link to the page so that we can merge? Thanks.
