Gitter is a great idea in theory. In practice it's just been a place for my questions to go unanswered.
If you go through the commit history you can see that they removed a lot of secret keys from the repo. What if the main reason why people don't want to opensource their project is because they don't know how to use their secret keys without including them in the repo ?
Not having started out as an open source project, this was always a major consideration. Once we've finished fully open sourcing everything, we should look to write up our experience around the conversation, in particular, the tools we used.
How blind can you be not to understand how evil this request is to your users? And you request this because... because you don't want to `sed 's|gulp |node_modules/.bin/gulp|g' Makefile` ?
Similarly, too hard to check npm's version in Makefile, and run or not run `linklocal` yourselves?

What would be the hardware requirements to run gitter for a couple of hundred accounts?
We haven't done much benchmarking at that end of the scale, but I can't think of any reason why you wouldn't be able to run it on a single server.

Would you mind elaborating? As a user who would follow this instruction without thinking twice I'd like to understand better why this is a bad idea.

Like IRC, it's a great platform to ask and answer questions on. Find the right rooms and talk to the right people.

> Asking users to run mongo, es, neo4j, and redis is a tall order. Not really. Why? Reddit is opensource but it'd damn hard to setup correctly and start your own instance.
The reddit repo doesn't have any commits since March. If that's their actual codebase, what are all their engineers doing?
