Well, I am interested in opencog platform (especially the Atomspace) and have been studying the codebase over the past month or so in hopes of contributing some day :). And we are using the atomspace at Mozi to develop a gene annotation service and it does provide a practical value.
However, the communication channels for opencog related discussions seem too few and not much goes around. I checked the Opencog slack and the discussions are sparse and somewhat "futuristic" . I was wondering if there are any real-time time communication channels (like IRC) where devs who are interested in the platform development can ask technical and design related question to the core developers (Linas, Nil etc).
