We've thought about gitter as well, personally my (slight) preference for Slack
is that it does not require a GH account, and also, there is a nice OSS heroku
app that provides a really nice "self-invite" button that shows how many users
are on, too. You can see it on our test docs deploy:
http://bokeh.pydata.org/en/test/index.html
That said it is probably six of one, half dozen of the other. I'm not
categorically opposed to looking into gitter some more.
My hope (and intent) is really to have this as a place for users to congregate
and self-support. We do intend to monitor, to the extent we can, but like you
there is precious little bandwidth form core devs.
