Any word on either a. an android client or b. an API to make an android client with?
Both are on the radar, but not sure on timing yet.

#23The upside of IRC is not having to have so many different applications to chat with all the different people.
If I can use XChat for this, that would be bad-ass. Also, one important feature I think would be crucial is integrating with Google Chat (if you can). All developers use IRC or HipChat or Kato but then I have to deal with the buggers in the rest of my company that like to use GChat!

#24Do you know if something similar exists for mailing lists? ie for every github project you get a project mailing list to discuss development on a higher level than individual bug reports.
something like this http://ost.io/?
More than year ago I had idea of creating mailing list hosted in Git itself. Made some prototype - https://github.com/communities/gitcommunities.com.

we're busy working on IRC integration right now!

#26That's one hell of an authorization request. I see the reasoning in the sidebar, but I'm not really willing to take that kind of chance to try out a new chat service.

Awesome, I definitely like this concept a lot and the other commenter's reply about a mailing list would go very well with this concept.

Sounds interesting. I'll have a look at this. Thanks!

So something a little more formal than chat?
With longer messages and asynchronous, so basically email.
It seems to me that mailing lists solve a different problem than chat or bug trackers. They allow to discuss about the project itself, which is necessary if you have > 1 main dev. That's something that sourceforge did and github does not, probably by design. Maybe something like discourse could work for that.
