I have found the same situation in other open source communities. We 
want to be sure that our conversations are not lost, so I'm not sure if 
Slack is a viable option.

We certainly open to this idea though, if others have found solutions to 
this issue.

This is a great suggestion, thanks! Two questions:

1. Does it allow you to export your conversations in some way?
2. Is there a "file sharing" option if we wanted to, for example, share 
a JPG or ODF file?
