Thanks, I’ve added it to the list.

I’ve found Slack useful for smaller, non-code teams, and never had time for
IRC. Zulip looks interesting if:
- public archive becomes available[1]
- it doesn’t create an extra channel of notifications and/or non-responses
I’m happy to give it a try[2], it seems to have the right async flow and
streams/topics model. I removed the invitation and email domain requirements so
anyone should be able to log in with their github account.

I’ve enabled the shared build[3] and am looking at how to add single packages
to the apt repo - otherwise it will get picked up in the next full package
build (sometime in the next few weeks).
Note the mxe build will use the name `luajit51.dll` instead of `lua51.dll` to
avoid potential conflicts with the standard `lua` pkg. Let me know if this is
an issue - I don’t know what the usual conventions are for luajit packagers.
Cheers,
Tony
