• Note: ordering in the CardView is not supported today (only possible in the list view).

Slack Migration

@Adam Stankiewicz

• In the 2U Slack workspace, the connected channels to the Open edX Slack are (unfortunately) private and not easily discoverable without an explicit invite.

  • Why? The 2U InfoSec team is concerned about phishing attacks via the Open edX connected Slack channels.

• Ideally, 2U staff would use the connected Paragon channel for any Paragon-related questions and/or announcements.

  • Why? Questions/answers/announcements posted in the connected Slack channel benefit both 2U and Open edX, rather than having to potentially duplicate messages across multiple Slack channels.

• Today, we now have a 2U-specific #paragon-working-group channel and a private #openedx-wg-paragon channel.

• [discuss] How can we make the private, connected channels like openedx-wg-paragon more discoverable/obvious so that they are used over 2U-specific channels?

  • E.g., as a new engineer who has a question about using a Paragon component and searches Slack for the appropriate channel to ask the question, how can we ensure they are aware of and choose to use the private connected channel instead?

• Documentation about Slack makes sense to live in Slack.

  • Can we expose private shared WG channels from the open 2U-specific channel? E.g., channel topic, pinned message, etc.
