Proposal - Creating an official Slack team for ABP related discussion

See original GitHub issue

I’ve seen several different open-source projects using Slack successfully as a medium of communication. It allow people to communicate faster, either to ask simple questions, get help on easily solvable issues, or organizing the development of improvements before resorting to opening an issue or posting on Stack Overflow. I actually believe there would be some gain for maintainers as well, since people would most likely find a solution to their simple issues on Slack, decreasing the amount of issues being created on GitHub and focusing only on bugs, feature requests and more complicated issues. It is entirely free to create a Slack team, this way it would not have any serious impact if it fails to work for this community.

I would like to hear opinions from the maintainers and the community in general, since this is an opinionated request.
