Having some conventions in how to name Slack channels makes them easier to find, and makes it easy to figure out what a channel is for.
-
#team-for team channels, e.g.#team-zebra. -
#proj-for projects (but not products, because a project is not a product). -
#z-for off-topic stuff, e.g.#z-food. -
#help-for support channels, e.g.#help-deployfor help in getting stuff deployed. -
#craft-for craft channels, e.g.#craft-rubyfor Ruby stuff or#craft-frontendfor general frontend stuff. -
#office-for office-specific channels, like#office-berlinfor the Berlin office.
