So I had a play with it, but really don't see what it adds other than a fancy web based IRC channel that gets spammed facebook style with pictures/links etc. It looks pretty closed, the free tier is pretty limited and there is the whole email domain thing. Surely there are better tools for FOSS team collaboration!
What would be really cool would be a similar tool that integrates with our main IRC channel, something like IRCCloud, but free. That said feel free to setup a channel and see if it takes off though. At this point our comms are so fragmented between lists/irc/g+/telegram etc I guess it won't hurt. > > I've been using it for 5-6 months now and it's beyond amazing! > > Don't be strict like I used to be.
