The #lilypond channel IRC is a public space.  I've used it for
communicating with a GSoC student in the past.


Here is a nice little article on the subject:
https://drewdevault.com/2015/11/01/Please-stop-using-slack.html. It's a
little old.

Given that LilyPond is a Gnu project it certainly makes more sense to me to
use IRC --- the whole respecting your freedom thing.

Anything wrong with that that a proprietary non-standard tool likely to
go away in few years at most would fix?

Oops - I mean *outside of the scope of GSoC*.
