Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Looking for a communications tool

[lienjud (lienjud]

Cascadia Commons in Portland adopted using groups.io last year. we did a mini 
trial of slack among a few of us and i was much in favor of moving to Slack 
with its ability to create channels and not clogging up people's email inboxes. 
our IT guru played with it a bunch and we saw many uses of Slack such as being 
able to track projects etc. He felt that going from our googlegroup to Slack 
was too big a step and instead, we are using IO. 
Besides the email function of IO, ours has a calendar, a member directory, a 
data base where we keep relevant community info and a wiki page that carries 
committee info. Most people here only use the email function of IO.
