Unfortunately, no. I do not use Slack. So, I cannot provide a specific link or<br>
something. What I know is that @SomeoneElse reported that Slack has an automated<br>
feed which pulls changesets comments from OSM and republishes them on one of<br>
their channels.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I'm a regular user of Slack. I haven't seen such a feed. But more to the point, Slack, the application by itself doesn't pull information from other sources. It's up to the users to pull feeds in. For example there is a new user feed which has a link to the users account and a link to their first edit. </div></div>-- <br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div>@osm_washington<br></div><div><a href="https://www.snowandsnow.us" target="_blank">www.snowandsnow.us</a></div><div>OpenStreetMap: Maps with a human touch</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
