Would anyone know how I can get in touch with 4AM?
I'll let him know to check here, in case you'd rather not create a Mastodon account.
Would anyone know how I can get in touch with 4AM? I have a program that
I'd like to send to him so he can crack it and make it available to
everyone.

Which is, by the way, where a lot of the Apple II traffic has disappeared to from csa2 :-/

The content here is:
- Replicated and therefore saved "forever"
- R/O accessible to everybody
- Easily searchable through Google "forever"
Nothing of the above is - at least to my knowledge - true for the Slack.
I'm surprised that a community that is so much about history and
preservation of digital assets doesn't care about the fact that its own activity will later be considered history as well - which is not well preserved.
This aspect extends to KansasFest. When searching for A2 topics on the net, my hits include PDFs of former KansasFest sessions. I gave the other day my first session :-)) But I wasn't even asked for a PDF of my slides. Yes,
there will (very likely) be a YouTube video - and in many aspects, the
video is preferable. But I still think, the PDFs should be preserved too.

This is a good point. We should make a point of preserving anything that comes up there that is worthwhile keeping.
Hi,

I agree with both the fact and the assessment. The content here is:
- Replicated and therefore saved "forever"
- R/O accessible to everybody
- Easily searchable through Google "forever"
Nothing of the above is - at least to my knowledge - true for the Slack. There are for sure discussions on Slack that - at least I think - wouldn't fit here well, like "Look at that eBay listing!". But there are others
which badly lack the attributes I listed above - meaning that the info
they
contain gets lost.
The Kfest website does have the provision to capture artifices from
sessions. I encourage you to submit yours to the committee.

The stream of activity on many channels (eg Total Replay) is mostly noise when reviewed in retrospect and the important outcomes are captured elsewhere. But other channels do have important content.
The GEnie and Delphi round tables used to have a monthly newsletter that captured important bits.
Perhaps a monthly summary of important bits in Slack would be useful for others to read. The dissemination of this would create wider distribution
and preservation.
The problem with creating this is the time it would take to produce. But perhaps this is an idea that someone would like to take on?
