First question is what the hell does this mean:

> As you install open-source packages, trustd will scan them and provide you with instant feedback on any problems.

What kind of scanning? Algorithmic? Based on human review? If we're outsourcing trust to you, I'd want to know a lot more.

And "we use Slack instead of a dashboard" doesn't sound terribly appealing. I'd want a dashboard and a range of notification options (for me email > Slack. Others may differ)



might not have explained it the best I could have haha..

It means as you pull packages in from NPM et al, the analysis goes to work, telling you of any known vulnerabilities, or any license in-compliance.

With regards to Slack, we are hearing that a lot, it isn't the best mechanism for providing this feedback, and we are working on alternatives now, including email.
