I got the https://campfire.so folks to give osquery a free plan and will try to use it to improve the Slack onboarding experience.

Seems fine to try. How do we evaluate if it’s helping? How do you think it would compare to a simple slackbot?

Fewer folks asking questions in #general that might be suited for another channel?

How do you think it would compare to a simple slackbot?

I think it basically is a simple slackbot. I'm not sure if there's something simpler. This feels pretty easy to me since there's no infra to handle.

I meant slack’s bot. They have some basic welcome stuff. This looks it has more of an interview-style dynamic flow, vs a simple better written welcome message

I didn't even check that out -- happy to do so.

I think slack has some trivial welcome message. But if you want to schedule messages over a period of time, or have something interactive, you’d need other tools. I don’t have an opinion about what level of complexity makes sense for here. I support: 1. letting someone else drive. (hi zach!) 2. Trying to build community with the people that find there way in 3. Not feeling beholding to something that we may ultimately have a large bill for.
