I kind of hate Slack as well. But unfortunately it currently seems like the
nicest place for real time chat.
I agree about the worries of divergence. We need to re-establish WOCommunity.
As for the old wiki pages, I think they should just be plain abandoned and
buried. There's more misinformation there than information. If we make a
replacement I think it should be more of a blog-style, linking to articles that
people can maintain themselves, like your Docker/WO work that I would love to
hear more about :).
