In the old forum there is a link to Slack, it might be useful to put a link here too.

Is Slack going to continue to be used as well as Discourse? If so how does one know which one to use for a particular issue?

@Colin nothing is changing on the slack front - and it’s the same as before. Slack provides realtime chat - but doesn’t have an archive (beyond the most recent 10,000 messages). SO good for quick conversations with lots of back and forth. The forum is easier for longer-form questions and discussions.
