Create a chat room for newcomers
See original GitHub issueHi there!
I’ve been googling around, and trying to ask a quick question and basically just talk to humans in the community, but I’m not seeing an easy way to do that in realtime. Is that intentional?
First-off, I do see that you very generously provide a bunch of contact methods! Regular video calls, github issues, multiple mailing lists. There just doesn’t seem to be a way for community members to talk amongst themselves in realtime, or at least for newcomers to easily do so 😃
If you have a private Slack, you could easily set up a chat bridge between a public gitter channel and a Slack channel named #public-lobby or something like that. Matterbridge is a great tool that I use for things like that, and it runs on Heroku. It can also be bridges with IRC channels, if that’s a place where community also gathers.

Have you checked the community forum at all? These are the daily posts from last week:
This is an opensource project, people have their day jobs and there is no one paid to stay and answer questions on some chat. That’s why the community forum is the best option for that.
The problem for some time in the past is that people were refusing to use mailinglists and it was easier to open an issue, which at the end ended with the projects having tons of issues, which are actually questions.
We created the forum, as this is what people wanted and also posted a template for the issues where it is clearly written, that if you have a question post it to the forum, and still there are people creating issue for just a simple question (like one that Saul closed 30 minutes ago, an issue with a title with no description).
What do you see as not answered? Personally, I’m trying not to leave anything without some kind of feedback and I think almost any topic in the forum or issue created has some feedback.
@mstyura You are not offending me don’t worry, I’m frustrated with people opening issues for simple questions without reading the template… 😃 You are welcome and any contribution is welcome. No need of issue about the PR, I’m sure @bgrozev had seen your PR, he just hadn’t come to it yet.
