Personally, IRC has served me well, but recently I started appreciating communication channels like Gitter. I see, people may prefer chats like that. By the way https://gitter.im/OSGeo. For a GitHub-hosted project, I see how Gitter may be valuable for discussions about issues, PRs, with easy linking to those artefacts, with archived logs, but without polluting issues/PRs with too many comments. Too much brainstorming in comments to issues/PRs may easily become maintenance nightmare. > I wanted to start this as a separate topic although a lot of these > alternatives are based on git or gitlab so its a very related discussion. > > What would be useful to OSGeo projects? Yes, I guess so.
