[Sugar-devel] Proposal to move communication to other platform

[Srevin Saju]

I agree to Prashant. To me Slack seems to be a viable option, and indeed
popular too. But unfortunately due to historical reasons, we might not move
to another platform. Nevertheless, it might be of interest to other
developers in the community

I am sure this request must have been raised earlier as well. I wanted to

> IRC where I cannot see any earlier data.
> 2. IRC cannot be used on mobile devices, so it creates a barrier in
> communication. On the other hand, the other chat applications are available
> on all platforms for everyone to use.

> request has been made earlier and denied due to some reasons, then I would
> like to know them so that I can understand the reasons and work
> accordingly.
