Is there any plans for a discourse for Ktor? A great project like this deserves something more than just a single slack channel.

Maybe just create a couple more channels in this slack? Do you have topics and messages for additional channels?

Well the problem is not so much the lack of channels (but I guess it would be an improvement too) as much as having slack on a free tier with limited history. Longer or more complex topics also tends to better suited to for forums or mailing list rather than Slack.

And this is not true for this Slack. This slack has unlimited history
Maybe also ktor issue tracker may be a good place for complex topics

Oh I had missed that :D

Maybe using posts for specific topics and pinning conversations? Although I agree slack isn't the best place. Issue tracker for questions/issues and then adding it to the documentation would be a great approach too.

Slack gives you forum style messaging. It’s just people have a hard time/forget to use threads
