@Rajat1999
I'd like to do it too but only people already in the Slack channel will be able to update the link.

The issue is still there. Link does not exist anymore..

Hi all, do anybody have the new slack Invite Link.

[WillPaulRyan]

Ask @Roshanjossey

[adityaprakash-bobby]

@Roshanjossey Can we add the invite link from any members' slack account?

[Niweera]

Still not fixed the Slack invite link issue. Please consider it. @Roshanjossey

Hi the slack link is not active, first time I have looked at this repo and thought that it is such a wonderful idea for helping anyone but then got totally disappointed that the first thing I tried was to click on the slack link. I guess there mustn't be much need for this repo if the issues stay open for such a small change. Is it worth joining this group to help out or is there another group that is more active. Hope to help in the future once I know how. Cheers

Any of the maintainers of this repo on here. Could that person give us an update on the Slack channel? I'm interested in joining the channel too.

Hey people,

Sorry that I was out for a while. I'm trying to get back.

Here's a new link that I've generated. Please update it in all the places required (translations, tutorial for other tools)

Please comment below to let others know if you're working on it.

I wish we could update the link in one place and use a reference in all places to keep things DRY. I'm not sure if we can do this across multiple markdown files though.

I have fixed the issue! #17948

[Rajat1999]

@Roshanjossey you can check it out!

[Roshanjossey]

This has been fixed and I feel awesome.

I used to feel that the slack group was an absolute failure as we never managed to have any continuous work done there. It'd be awesome to see you people being active there.

Have a great day ahead. Closing
