I suppose it'd probably be clearer to say that we'd be re-implementing
the functionality of what that app does on pginfra as part of pgweb.
Looks like it'd be pretty trivial to do, as the main part of the app is:

https://github.com/rauchg/slackin/blob/master/lib/slack-invite.js

In pgweb, for users who have registered an account, we've already got
their email address (and vetted it) and therefore we could actually make
the link from .Org go to a logged-in page that then sends the
appropriate call to postgresteam.slack.com to have them send the email
invite.

I wasn't referring to that as being an issue, but rather wondering if
there was a way on the admin side of the slack team to modify the URL
that shows when you click on the top-left drop-down menu, to make it
point to the .Org Community page, or something along those lines, so
that folks don't send people to the postgresteam.slack.com URL by
mistake, as happened here.

With the above, I wouldn't think we'd need to have the list of domains
at all, which seems like it'd be a general improvement and would
hopefully reduce the confusion.

Thanks,
