Perhaps Nubank can help here, since I've heard they more than 1000 channels in their internal Slack? ;)

Is this something Cognitect / Nubank could help negotiate?

what?

paying for this slack?

> Could you have the plan administrator reach out to me at <mailto:[email protected]|[email protected]> and we can go from there”

we are not the plan administrator?

nobody from cognitect or nubank has any relationship with the creation or administration of this slack

would it be in the interest of nubank or cognitect if this slack had full features?

I'm not saying you should do anything, just trying to see if there's possibilities. Perhaps some other company can do this

I don't feel like I need any more features personally

ok, clear.

what features are we missing that people want?

I think history is the big one

I know search but that's somewhat mitigated by zulip etc

and yes, we have workarounds, but meh

I'd rather those funds go to (for example) paying oss clojure devs

or hiring more people on the clojure team

or ...

getting better search here is like 50 spots down the list

ok, totally fair. to clarify: I was just bouncing ideas, let's see if someone else has interest then.

seems like someone from admin here could do what it says above and contact the email above and actually get more information

that seems like a logical next step indeed

Yep, definitely on our radar, no one's had time to act on it quite yet but I think we certainly will.

Btw I wasn't suggesting anyone should pay, but if there's a company which already has a big Slack bill, and is somewhat connected to the Clojure community, perhaps this would help negotiate a free but full plan for this Slack.

Like @cfleming was suggesting with the Jetbrains thing

if that becomes helpful, let me know

although I could not be farther from knowing the right person to talk to at Nubank about that :)

Maybe you can just suggest you are kin? 😃

I think it would be totally awesome without the 10K messages cliff. Until today it has all seemed like “forget it”, but there actually seems there is a sliver of a chance they can let us have access to all messages.

There’s no need for anyone else to help at this point. It sounds like slack is helpful to larger open source communities so we will see what they are willing to offer

I’m in Florence on vacation but will email tonight if @eggsyntax has not already. We just have been on vacation at the moment

I'd guess the entire history of this slack has more clojure information vs all other clojure sources combined. Being able to access the full slack feature set on it would be amazing if it could be accomplished without someone footing the bill. I'd probably spend countless hours searching random terms vaguely related to stuff I'm stuck on. The current logs are not the best for this usage unfortunately
