Slack?

[GeeTwo]

We started a slack group just before build season (Jan 4th?) and it's been the best comms the team has ever had. Most of the leads and mentors check it regularly, and a number of the rookies and underclassmen as well. In addition to general, robotbuild, programming, ordering_purchases, awards, fundraising, mentors, scouting, strategy and projectplanning, we have a random channel for chit-chat and maryellensplayhouse for stuff that's too random for random. And those are just the channels I monitor. The ability to set up one-on-one or small groups on the fly for PMs is great, too; we use these for ad-hoc groups like build details for each mechanism.
