I looked through Slack and there is some discussion from the BIDS team. That said, I don't see a ton of value-added for this project specifically. How do people feel about holding off on using slack for this project and using github issues for discussing things instead?
my vote is to stick with github for communication and google drive for data
As one of the main instigators of slack - if things are working, then it's fine to keep them that way. Keep in mind that part of the ideal is to have discussions be public, so that folks can go back and see what happened in discussions. So, if there's a lot in the black hole of email, that'd be a good thing to move to slack.
Also - the goal is eventually to get other members of BIDS chiming in on your projects - which you could do by posting to the berkeley-dsc group on Slack - in particular, you might @mention someone.

I agree that while currently Slack isn't very active, it can be a useful to get feedback when the team hits a major roadblock that requires additional help.
i'm definitely not against moving to slack, at this point though i think our goal should be to get results, instead of adding one more way of communicating that we must get up to speed with, so i think we should leave things as is, for now, if that is ok with you guys
I am willing to migrate any miscellaneous / quick interactions to Slack, though I'd like project-specific questions to remain with their respective github issues. @davclark or @anthonysuen, do you have opinions about using github issues vs. slack for discussion project questions etc?
If it makes sense to be on GitHub, then it should be on GitHub, definitely.

Sounds good - I will note that @juanshishido and I are both on Slack, where we've created a "Purchasing" room to discuss questions about this project. I am not going to make any requirements for people to use Slack, only that if they have any kind of project-related question, they either use Slack or they use github, but not email.
However, I still urge you guys to check it out, because I think it may be useful: https://msdse.slack.com/messages/berkeley-dsc/
They should be able to sign up using their berkeley.edu address:
