Some notes from slack, also posted to #4 on the "chat" component
Re Q&A: I saw some mini-conf's just directing to some "proper" Q&A platform, so in principle, we could integrate e.g. with https://neurostars.org or have our own Discorse instance (e.g. here is one for our department https://www.askpbs.org) -- would again become a persistent solution beyond OHBM meeting. Discorse also has polls functionality. So it would be just a matter of organizing and "cross-reference"ing with chat nicely (well, there is an extension for discourse to cross-post/notify to chat ). Having chat (short, rapid) + discorse (slower, more detailed, up/down votes etc -- you can already see the need with all these monstrous posts without order here in the slack) instance for Q&A (and polls) then integrated with "conference venue" platform might be the most ideal (in terms of functionality) and sustainable long term solution.
Discourse could be (like non-open disqus) could be embedded into webpages (see e.g. https://blog.codinghorror.com/welcome-to-the-internet-of-compromised-things/#discourse-comments ). So that OHBM discourse instance could be used for comments etc on some (if not all) OHBM meeting or just organization website. Again -- just a matter of coming up with nice organization/tagging scheme
