What happens in the #general of the WWG Slack you wonder? We welcome people. With some hand-googled gopher. Now I automated that task, /welcome with the name as seed for the gopher for perfect results every time!
I'm a big fan of Gopherize.me, with the lates blog post I read explaining their API the idea came up to turn it into a slackbot!
