It surprises me a little that we're so quick to say that it's not a useful open source tool. Is there data to back that up? I'm sure there's data to suggest IRC works ( however not for us ) Is that enough for us to just discount a new evolving social technology that creative people are flocking to? I think that's what's bothering me most of all about this thread, and disheartening me :(

I surfed a little and read this ...

Why couldn't we at least try it? If it fails, nothing is lost?  If we see more dialogue, then we win? Is it not that simple?

I don't know whether or not Slack would be a useful open source tool, but in my opinion if it aids communication, then of course it would be a useful tool.

That may be true within a single company. But if the conversations that happen there are not open to all interested parties, and transparent to everyone then it is not a useful open source tool.
