The windows client is a b***h to work with. The channel list is very
long and unordered, and there's no search.

So since Slack has been so successful for our community , far more
that IRC has been in terms of participation and useful discussions
(at least the 2 years I have been around)
it made me wonder if I could find an open source alternative to Slack
that is at least as good as it if not better without a very different
workflow (so we have to learn everything from zero) all the big pros
and something that could easily interface with Pharo.
Ladies and gentlemen meet Rocket Chat
https://rocket.chat/
The good news about Rocket chat is that it seems to have all the pros
of Slack like close integration with tweeter, github etc etc . It has
clients for all OS and mobile devices. But not the big cons like the
10.000 messages limit ( which we have long exceeded). Its open source
and most importantly written in javascript and we know that pharo can
interface with javascript in many diffirent ways .
Hosted on Github and deployable with open source technologies.
And even its license is MIT.
The reviews I have read about it are very positive.
So what do you think ?
