Slack Channel Standard

This standard governs how Slack channels should be named.

When to Create a Slack Channel

Generally, there should be a channel created for each Docassemble package that gets created.

Slack channel names should be as similar as possible to their corresponding Docassemble package name.

Where a repo is created for a client or some external-facing purpose then a corresponding Slack channel should be created.

Other repositories, such as repos created by users for their own use, do not need to have a Slack channel created for them

The idea is to stay as close as possible to the Repository Naming Standard while making allowances for Slack naming syntax (eg: no upper-case names).

aaaanndescriptivetext

where:

aaaa is the lower-case equivalent of AAAA part of the Docassemble pacakge name (as per the Repository Naming Standard);
nn is the same as nn for that Docassemble repository; and
descriptivetext is the lower-case equivalent of DescriptiveText for that Docassemble repository.

Same as above

Follows the appropriate part of the Repository Naming Standard but with the relevant parts in lower case

dllmferrare01testrepo

would be the name of the Slack Channel for the DLLmferrare01TestRepo repository mentioned in the Repository Naming Standard.

The Slack channel for the Digital-Law-Lab repository is digital-law-lab (ie: the hpyen characters are retained for this repo).
