[Gretl-devel] Re: Oh no! Another chat service. gretl - slack

Hi Hélio, even though I like slack and use some very basic features for communicating with one of my co-authors, I am not too experienced with it. I know that it is used as a support and discussion channel. For instance, there exist slack channels for Python and Julia (and many more projects): https://julialang.org/slack/ https://pyslackers.com/web However, the basic question is: What's the purpose of this channel and who (basic user, developer) is supposed to use it?
