heh, I agree 100% with the IRC + e-mail approach. Though new contributors might find that intimidating. I have tried to get... uh... colleagues to idle on IRC, but there is a high drop-out rate. |

most of my coworkers (i.e. Techgiant employees who work on Engineering, Ops, CI for openstack) reject IRC in favour of hipchat or slack. Most written communication happens in tickets, reviews/PR comments or hipchat. There is ~no IRC (even though corporate IT provides IRC service, almost nobody from the cloud org uses it). |

Also, none of the techie types use either of the internal (proprietary) XMPP based systems either. |

My main gripes are that they have heavy clients and non-open protocols. I can't get behind something like that. |

likewise. In addition, hipchat at least has availability issues that make it IMO opinion unsuitable for "important, largescale". When they go down or stop delivering messages for a significant proportion of our users for 15 mins or half an hour or whatever, that adds up to a lot of developer frustration |
