@arunoda I’m using flow-components for production. What should I do?
Don’t worry we are maintaining it. Used in all our projects.
Fire issues and we can work as usual.
The things is, we are quite not sure about exact set of features.
I already have a fork with UserAccounts in it, just needs a little design work, I think.

Null chat is something similar http://nullchat.space/ . It’s cool and it’s open source https://github.com/mattfeldman/nullchat

This would be a great project to put on assembly.com. It would facilitate growing the open source as well provide an incentive for people to work on it to get a dividend from revenue of a saas product. Many more people out there that don’t want to do there own server administration. It would get us input from other skills sets that are currently not on the meteor forums like graphic design, ui/ux, copy writers, sales and marketing, etc. as well.
There’s already one created, but I really don’t know how to go forward on this. Any suggestions? Do ping me on Slack also 
I agree that federation would be great. How can we start working towards this goal?
Can you send me invitation to Trello and Slack? My email: Absolutely!

I realize that Slack is a really nice application. However, IRC has been around for a bit, having a lot of active users. What would be your thoughts on overlaying slack-like functionality on a Meteor.js IRC client?
Where does this “defaultAuth” come from? I need to login with a custom service (i.e., not one of the oAuth options) and need login to recognize my Meteor.loginWithMyCustomService. I don’t want to change / re-write a bunch of UI to do so. Thanks! @byeung888
I think a lot of people here misunderstand the true value of slack.

Slack isn’t just another Instant messaging client. it’s the integrations that make it very powerful. Once you connect things like your helpdesk, your e-commerce system, GitHub, and your own custom built applications via web hooks, then slack becomes a centralized hub which seamlessly integrates multi-application messaging across your organization.
That is the real unique value proposition of Slack; it’s not just chat for teams.
This is why SpaceTalk is a lousy name and Mission Control which I proposed early on would be much better.
I don’t know, dude. I think the value proposition might be different for different users.
Personally, I just like that it is a chat client that supports teams and file uploads and has great mobile apps.
From my experience it’s much more than a Skype alternative. We actually used Slack for a year before we got around to really using the integrations. The integrations changed my life. We have custom bots which reply alerts from our applications like errors for engineering or requests from customers for purchasing. All this stuff that would normally go to email gets pushed into Slack channels so we can respond and discuss in real-time.
I think creating a Slack client without the integration features would be like creating an iPhone clone which can’t run apps.
Hi, I missed your message. While SpaceTalk didn’t hit the orbit and fell back to earth (why start from scratch?), my app Konso is still kicking and being actively developed. There are two oAuth option, LDAP and Atlassian Crowd, but you can use others with some tweaks. If you use the default LDAP ones as on here: http://www.forumsys.com/tutorials/integration-how-to/ldap/online-ldap-test-server/
Much of the issues are fixed, although there are some new ones. Let’s do it together.
