In #growth there is https://clojurians.slack.com/archives/C0353589RFC/p1652684306735399 around that a lot of the content in #beginners (and other channels) are not easily consumed via search engines and such. It is very good for asking and answering, so I really want to promote that users continue to ask here, and would want to both eat the cake and have it. So here's an idea: We make it easier to copy content from slack to https://ask.clojure.org . I think it needs very good curation, so am thinking three components would help: 1. A way to mark content as Q&amp;A material 2. A way to quickly search for this content 3. A way to get the content as markdown and edit it to prepare it for the Ask site Thinking that 1 could be some special purpose emoji reactions that we slap on post when we think they should be considered. And 2 could be some API end point we add to https://clojurians-log.clojureverse.org/, as could 3 as well. We could maybe build a client using #cljfx that uses the end points. WDYT?

Are the slack chats available somewhere? I know you can get them from zulip, but I think that doesn't tell you which messages are in threads.

The Clojurians Log has them: https://clojurians-log.clojureverse.org/ Which is what I am forgetting to mention in the post. I'll edit that...

(I'm not saying they should be.)
