I encourage everyone here to reflect on this emails http://bit.ly/1IASLEK from Niclas Hedhman. He's one of the Apache folks who I am listening very closely whenever he says something.
That another reason why I avoid noisy chatter-channels like IRC, Skype, or Slack (yes, I am making an effort to stay out of the company's channels, for instance): if ppl need my input - they will email me or IM me. If they don't - I won't waste my time shouting to the wind, as no one will ever scroll up and re-read two days worth of a chat history. Filtering tons of stuff that is highly irrelevant to what you're working on at the moment is incredibly counter-productive. Replacing one's personal communication discipline with a digital channel chain is hardly a solution to grow a community; or perhaps a viable development community.
