Currently, you can select (under Drupal => My contributions):

  • [...]
  • I help in the Drupal support forums
  • I provide Drupal-related services
  • I give support on IRC
  • I help mentor new contributors

I think "I give support on Slack" should be added. Slack is one of the options listed on https://www.drupal.org/support We could combine IRC and Slack to one choice, but I think it makes sense to separate them. It's nice to know if it ise likely to reach a person on Slack (or IRC). I never use IRC (anymore), but I have Slack open all day long.

Maybe we should add "I answer on Drupal Answers" too? Maybe with a different wording :-) It's also listed on https://www.drupal.org/support

I still think this is a good feature request. Slack and Drupal Answers must be more important than IRC now?

Yes, this seems a worthwhile change!

Ideally, the word "Slack" in the option description should link to drupal.org/slack

Nice proposal!

Should the preferred IM tool(s) and the account(s) be considered? For example, some drupal people might use Telegram/WhatsApp/WeChat only

Display something like the below:

I prefer to be reached by e-mail/contact from/Slack/DrupalChat.me/Telegram/WhatsApp/etc., and the corresponding account(optional)

Both Slack & Drupal Answers options are now available.

For contact via IM, that’s a separate issue. I don’t think we need to collect all of these. For community contribution, many-to-many platforms are best, to encourage collaboration. If you’d like to put your personal contact information out in the open, for offering Drupal services/etc, you can always put it in your bio or websites field.
