You might want to add a secondary tag for SAP Netweaver, so that Basis folks on SCN could see this too. And maybe include ABAP Development as well to spread the word.
Done! Thanks Jelena.
Hey Lisa,
I don't use whatsapp, is there an alternative way to get those Information, e.g. a Website, a RSS-Feed or some Twitter-Accounts?
(This would also help to easily judge it the infos are worth getting them to you phone.)

Hello. Why you don't use Telegram that is 100 times better than Whatsapp and supports natively groups, etc ?
Hello Marco! Thank you for your suggestion. There are many reasons why we had to discontinue these channels which include GDPR requirements which apply to all messenger apps. While Telegram may have been a good alternative, regulations are frequently changing and vary from country to country. This makes it difficult to manage and it would not be a good user experience to keep switching platforms as these changes occur.
