[community] FW: Community

Hi Firdosh,

Why are you looking for a slack channel?

What attracts you to prefer using slack?

Perhaps we need to discuss as a community an official accessibility forums
channel where micro discussions can take place? Similar to spaces like
readdit?

Best regards,
Gabriella Hong
