dylan, as a user of gitter (and when i created an account to check it out i think i saw other TinkerPop regulars hanging about in there) do you find it to be generally available and stable?
For others who are interested there's some comments about the slack experience from Neo4j who have a pretty large slack community: http://neo4j.com/blog/public-neo4j-users-slack-group/ What bugs me about slack is the lack of full history support. For those who are thinking slack is the best approach, Isn't maintaining all chat history (not just the last 10K lines) an important feature to consider?
