Hi everyone!
We (me, Gregory, Riccardo, Damian, and a few others) are currently
testing out a new chat system named Zulip </>. It's similar in scope
to other team chat solutions like Slack, Mattermost, and Rocket.Chat,
but it has a good threading model (all messages are in threads, and
they can be moved between threads) and is quite mature. We decided to
try out a new chat system, because (1) we need a more real-time
communication system than mailing lists, and (2) we found that Discord
was useful, but Zulip would be more configurable and would not require
using nonfree software.
It has a web client, a desktop client (which is a wrapper around the
web client), a React Native mobile client, and an experimental Flutter
mobile client. The React Native mobile client and the Flutter mobile
client are also able to receive push notifications. You can receive
email notifications, too. (Note: You should not download the client
from F-Droid unless you don't have Google Play Services, as the
F-Droid builds have push notifications disabled due to requiring the
proprietary Google Play Services).
We can set up things like archiving the chats to a public website and
mirroring discuss-gnustep to a channel, which could be quite useful.
These integrations are easy to set up.

(sorry, I thought I had sent this out in July, but it turns out it was
just sitting in my Drafts folder for more than a month.)
