<br>
I know that our official channels only include mailing lists, IRC and<br>
PR/ticket discussion so far, but I'm curious about your stand with<br>
respect to setting up a service like Zulip Chat / Rocket Chat / ...<br>
for aiding the GSOC communication when higher frequency of potentially<br>
simple questions would be needed. I know IRC could fulfill such a<br>
task, but it doesn't work too well for me. (I'm offline when at work,<br>
cannot really use phone efficiently for communication etc..)<br>
<br>
Would it be realistic to install such a service on breaburn if needed?<br>
(Or is it too complex / too much work?)<br>
<br>
I strongly suspect that one of those services also integrates pretty<br>
well with IRC. I've been using Slack, Zulip, Discord, Gitter at<br>
various occasions and I like the way they work.<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
Mojca<br>
