Description

The Slack invite link in README.md has been expired for over 2 years, blocking new contributors from joining the community workspace. Two separate issues (#28 and #29) have been filed about this, with the most recent one from May 2026.

This PR replaces the dead invite links with:

  • A mailto link in the Slack badge that opens an email to masakhanetranslation@gmail.com with a pre-filled subject line
  • Updated join instructions that direct users to email for an invite to the Slack workspace

Issues Fixed

Changes

  • Replaced expired Slack invite URL in the badge (line 5)
  • Replaced expired Slack invite URL in "How do I join?" section (line 86)

Impact

This unblocks new community members from finding and joining the Masakhane Slack workspace, which is the primary communication channel for the project.

Checklist

  • I have read the project README
  • My changes are minimal and focused
  • No breaking changes
  • PR is focused on a single logical change

The Slack invite link has been expired for over 2 years, blocking new
contributors from joining the community workspace. This replaces the
dead links with a mailto link to masakhanetranslation@gmail.com so
potential contributors can request an invite directly.
