Maybe only if we started agreeing on using it for a particular purpose.

What I've found, when we looked at Slack, Mattermost and other pieces of
chat software (or whatever you want to call it), was that we were quick
to figure out the features, the opportunities and challenges, but
quickly dumped them because we were used to IRC and that's where we were
going to look for everyone anyway.

If we wanted to conduct a serious test of mattermost, I guess we should
start using it for a specific team or event and make sure we're all there.

Have a great day,
 Daniel
