Hi,

On https://www.postgresql.org/list/pgsql-docs/ under the "Quick links" on the left I see this link https://postgres-slack.herokuapp.com/ but that app seems to be offline.

Is Slack used by the PostgreSQL docs community?
If so: can somebody please update this link?
If no: shall we remove that link?

Have a good one,

-Ni

Yes, we still use slack, but as for who has access to update that page, I
do not know. I may be able to invite you though. I have a customer call in
just a few minutes, but I'll see if I can figure out the invites once I get
a free minute.

The link you gave only allows access to people who have an @pgtreats.info email address.

It should be possible to generate an invite link for any domain. It’s good to know that those are often capped to either n signups or valid for m amount of time.

Could you please generate an all-domains invite link if you have permission to?

that's weird, since I don't have one of those, but I do see that is how
this link works. I'm not sure the point of someone posting that at the top
of general is.

In any case, it looks like you already got an invite from someone based on
the message I got when I tried to invite you.

I didn’t get an email, but I’m in after trying again.

Thanks!
