Closed uurtech closed 4 years ago

uurtech commented 5 years ago

Added a tool to delete and take backup of all of your messages/files in Slack

@anjackson not quite sure this one fits. What do you think? There's some typos in the URL, and not sure it is in the right section.

I also feel this is out of scope.

Yeah, I think this is out of scope. Maybe we need to add some clearer guidelines though? I'd say we're trying to focus on preserving web sites rather than extracting data from web applications?

Yeah, I think that makes sense. Should we add this as a bullet point in CONTRIBUTING.md or at the beginning of the README?

That should go in the CONTRIBUTING.md file. Also, we might want to note that dead/unmaintained entries should actively be moved to the deprecated.md file (we can also rename this file to something like used-to-be-awesome.md :wink:).

If this was a tool primarily designed for archiving public slack channels I could see an argument for having it in the same category as Social Feed Manager. But since the archiving aspects seem incidental at best I think it's a stretch too far.
