A Slack book club launched in January 2020 grows from ≈230 members to 1,387 members by April 2021, running months‑long discussions (one lasts Jan 21–Apr 15) and reading titles like Product Is Docs, Doc Like Code, and Letting Go of the Words by Janice Reddish. Conversations surface concrete issues: non‑adoption of tools, single‑sourcing taken to extremes, reuse vs content strategy, managing people/projects, and the pain of converting technology; facilitation works through book‑discussion questions and asynchronous participation.
