Clojurians Log v2

Forgive me for a slightly off topic question… but it does relate to my ability to stay connected to the cljs crew. I have a free Slack account and can’t search through our messages here… I can’t understand the Slack billing model… do I have to pay the $6.67 per month per community (i.e. Clojurians) or does their basic membership cover other communities? If one was part of 20 Slack communities (I’m not sure what to call them… aggregates of channels on a topic) is one supposed to pay 20 * 6.67 or 133 a month?

Can’t wrap my head around how I should approach this.

I’m probably not understanding the billing model.

All messages here should be logged on http://clojurians.zulipchat.com, which has free unlimited searchable history.

If Slack has a new billing model, then I'd be interested to hear about it, but last I checked with them a year or so ago, the only way to make Clojurians Slack searchable would be to pay a monthly fee based on number of active users, then everyone would get searchability, but if no one foots that bill, then no one gets searchability.

The bill is somewhere over $1,000 per month for current number of active users, based on a recent message here from Sean Corfield that is still visible on Slack: https://app.slack.com/client/T03RZGPFR/C0CB40N8K/thread/C0CB40N8K-1608234821.118900

thank you for that information!

so, it’s all worse than I thought.

wow… pretty terrible then that open source communities are adopting Slack.

but I get the handy nature of Slack. That said, IRC was fine.

As I said, at least for Clojurians Slack, the messages are searchable for about the last several years, if you know where to look. There are advantages to Slack, not only disadvantages, so it is somewhat in the eye of the beholder whether the situation is terrible.

My choosing the word ‘terrible’ was unnecessary. There are definitely advantages! Just an old FOSS fan here . 😉

Weird how lein-cljsbuild builds ok and plain cljs.main fails. Details in thread.

git clone <https://github.com/clyfe/clara-eav.git>
cd clara-eav
lein test-cljs # builds fine, tests pass
clj -A:test -m cljs.main -c clara-eav.test-runner # compilation fails

Failure: "No namespace: clara-eav.rules-test found" Boils to: ns-name calling clojure's the-ns instead clojurescript's ".-name"
