Making a Difference: The Public Neo4j-Users Slack Group
We’ve been asked several time in the past to open a neo4j-users Slack group for the many enthusiastic people in the Neo4j user community. Now, that Slack group is a reality.
This group is meant to be a hip alternative to IRC for quick questions and feedback.
StackOverflow is still the place to go for canonical, persistent answers and also providing them. We’ll also posting interesting StackOverflow questions and answers to the Slack group.
So, yesterday we gave it a go and were totally overwhelmed by the users pouring in.
During the first hours we had about 100 sign-ups per hour, making it 600 members in the first 6 hours. Wow, that was impressive.
And everyone was very thankful and enthusiastic. New channels were created and people instantly began helping each other, discussing questions and giving feedback.
If you want to join now, please sign up here, and then come back to finish reading this article.
Driver authors and community contributors are also all there to help you with specific questions. In addition, many Neo Technology employees participate as well to help you out with questions or ideas.
