Is there any interest in having a Thrift channel in ASF's Slack instance? It could be useful for extemporaneous chat, mentoring, onboarding, and quick user questions for Thrift.
I could create a Thrift channel for the community. I just don't want to be the only one lurking in there. I know some projects might still be using IRC... I don't know if that's the case for Thrift or not, but more and more people seem to be using Slack these days. Even if IRC is used, it's probably a good idea to have a presence in Slack (since it's available to us) anyway.
