New Slack Channels - Updated Jan 17 2024

Context:

We got survey feedback from members saying that, as the community has grown, it's become hard to keep track of #ask-for-help. Many people said the channel can be overwhelming and unfocused. We heard this feedback loud and clear.

We're launching some focused channels for recurring themes and issues. We’ll keep #ask-for-help as a place for general discussion and questions that don’t fit in any of the below channels.

We know it will take some time for everyone to build new habits and bootstrap lively conversation in each channel, so we'll help point conversation to the right place.

We'd also appreciate if you could politely show other members the right home for their conversation if needed and do your best to answer questions that might come up in channels that are relevant to your expertise. We'll be adding members to the relevant channels proactively in the coming days and weeks.
