Hi Luca, Yes is true, gitter clients on Android and iOS not the best, also zulip looks nice, however my concerns would be the maintenance overhead, we have now gitter and mailing list which is enough I think. If we introduce a third tool, this could be annoying to keep track of, is just my personal opinion on this of course.
Also, it would be nice if we can evaluate zulip on a small scale and compare it with gitter. On the chat topic, it would be nice if we can have a `dev` room where we can discuss dev topics in relation to Camel (something similar to Debezium dev channel on gitter), instead of email/jira as sometimes brainstorming as async manner would make more sense.
