#22I work at Automattic, and p2 is (in my mind) _the_ thing that makes our remote-only culture work. We don't really use email that much or other forms of async chat. When synchronous chat (like Slack) gets to be too in-depth, our motto is "p2 or it didn't happen." p2 has the widest visibility in the company -- anyone can search for a p2 post, or cross-post to other teams and divisions. Since many teams are spread acros…
We use discourse for this. Any type of forum-like product is very effective as a complement to email and instant messages for the reasons you describe. For effective remote I think it's indispensable to have: Instant messaging, email, forum, wiki. Looks like p2 might also serve as a sort of "company directory" thing, which we also use another product for, but I don't get much as value out of that.

I think in my mind, P2 fulfills both email and forum roles internally. But it does have a high level of integration with our other internal tools.

#24There is a live demo here https://p2customers.p2.blog/ I don't get it. Looks like a regular news wall with endless scrolling and comments expanded. Except anybody can post an announcement on top? and the previous ones disappear under the constant flow?
The idea here (I think) is that this is meant for use within an enterprise. Like a corporate wiki, but organized more like an aggregator site. I've seen a few similar products that were like enterprise facebook or enterprise twitter. They are sorta useful, but it's hard to get enough engagement to be worthwhile. Your company needs at least a few thousand people in order for them to generate enough content to keep peo…
Lotus Notes?

#25I could imagine this becoming popular for college classes and research teams. Simple, clean, and powerful.

#26Lots of comments on 1,000+ people teams.
What about sub 100?
We are fully distributed. Lots of Slack and Zoom. Trying to create a central source of truth in Notion but that feels very static.
Any smaller teams using this?

#28I contracted at Automattic and P2 was critical, but boy do you spend a lot of time reading and writing. You really don't want to half-ass a P2 post for a lot of reasons (a good thing), so what you get is very thoughtful but fairly verbose and voluminous posts and corresponding conversation.
Reading P2 tends to happen in between tasks, like email, but it's a little harder to keep track of what you did and didn't read, or be aware of an important comment that got by you.
It fixes a lot of things for async work that email falls short of, but probably still needs a few more tweaks to make it slightly more manageable given its nature.

#29It looks very similar to Zulip. Can anybody contrast both ? Zulip would bring the best of slack and p2 right?
We recently adopted Mattermost at Canonical to replace IRC. While it's a great IRC replacement I am very much missing the ability to thread into sub-topics like Zulip. And creating whole new channels is hard for other team members to discover.

#30I'm sure this used to be a theme for WordPress at one point? Either way, it's really unusual how Automattic haven't released it to the public
The previous version was a theme and is still available - https://wordpress.org/themes/p2/ This version is also a theme and will be released for self hosting in future too.
Wait so there was the old P2 and now there is the new P2 but at one point there was O2 which was supposed to be the next version of P2 https://geto2.com/ ?
