3. How big is your team?
4. How has it worked out so far?
5. Anything we should know about Slack before we use it?

We haven't used it formally during build season yet, but for the summer it's worked great.
1. General is used for most things, but I have created channels for other subteams. Other than general, only #offtopic and #marketing get used often, but I would guess that's because of our small size and that we aren't physically meeting right now.
2. No, but I would probably kick them out of the slack if they were being disruptive.
3. About 14 members.
4. Pretty well compared to our previous uses of Facebook and Google Classroom
5. It's really nice for planning things instead of having to contact each thing individually. The only problem is getting people to sign up for it.
