I'd perfer to guide users to the gateway-user slack channel, as handling questions across multiple platforms can be difficult to manage.

@zhaohuabing i requested this because questions added to GitHub Q&A are:

  • indexed by search engines and helps other people find answers (when for example Googling)
  • accessible to people who are not using slack, I met a lot of people at KubeCon in London who prefer to ask questions outside of Slack

Negatives of Slack questions:

  • not searchable outside of slack
  • not ability to mark an answers as the correct answer to the question
  • not easily integrating directly to GitHub issues
