This would be awesome. It would be so great for XWiki to have a slack 
integration!

Very cool. I suggest starting with a github repo + a JIRA project, which I can 
create for you quickly.

All we need to decide is the name you wish to give to the github repo. 

If you plan to use this repo for adding the remaining features later on, you 
could name it something like: application-slack.

OTOH if you wish to have several repositories, then we'd need a more specific 
name.

Let me know which name to use.

I tried to look but I couldn’t find quickly the page where I could see the 
slack integration in action (I don’t speak Dutch ;)).

I’m really looking forward to have your contributions in xwiki-contrib and 
deployed on extensions.xwiki.org, and to work with you! :)

Thanks
