I don't have particularly strong feelings about any of these solutions with a slight tendency towards an open source solution. I do see the benefits compared to IRC also from experience at work. If that's something we as a community agree on, I wouldn't mind switching my IRC presence. > Would it be realistic to install such a service on breaburn if needed? > (Or is it too complex / too much work?) I'd prefer a SaaS offering here. Self-hosting just increases the maintenance burden and I don't think we need the configurability. -- Clemens
