[iTowns-dev] Chat room

[Adrien Berthet]

Also note that here at IGN, we only have a few port opened: using one of 
those three solutions, based on http protocol could help us using a 
dedicated client for this (and not the unpractical webchat client of 
freenode).

Concerning IRC, it doesn't keep log, and while I agree that 
important/relevant discussion should occurs in GitHub, sometimes things 
are relevant to keep; for example this morning we talked a little about 
WebWorkers, and some ideas of a good data structure. In my case, my 
browser froze and I lost all of this conversation, which I would have 
loved to keep.
