Have you seen the talk pages on Wikipedia? Any good quality debate on MediaWiki sites happens despite the platform, not because of it. I think you would be better to use 'The Git of debates' as your tag line, as that's a better metaphor for what your platform does; breaking debates down into discrete modules that people can contribute to independently of the rest of the work.

Continuing the discussion that began here about possible replacements for Slack. In that issue, I said:

A few questions that would help me decide what to recommend:

• are you in a position to self-host a team chat package, or are you only interested in using hosted services?
• do you use Slack mainly for realtime chat, or asynchronous messages, or equally for both?
• is voice and video mission critical, or do you only need text chat? *
  how important is your chat history? Is it an essential archive of your institutional memory, like mailing list archives? Is it ephemeral, like idling in IRC, with your team usually summarizing Slack chat in docs on a wiki or whatever?
• is email integration of interest, or are you all drowning in email and not wanting email delivery/ replies as a option? (I'm guessing it's not that important since Slack has no email bridge, but...)
