Rocket.Chat 0.18.1 Released

I was saying that larger organizations find free Slack much too limiting. But in retrospect, even a small organization will quickly find the free limits restricting.
I realize that an asston of companies are paying and using it.

Mattermost seems to be another alternative to Slack which is now integrated with gitlab. Seems like the same incoming and outgoing webhook integrations are on mattermost as well. http://www.mattermost.org/

Ah, all of my experience has been companies paying for it (outside of NTG testing it and in fifteen minutes finding the free one too limiting.)

Looks quite good.

@scottalanmiller where you were talking about clutter - I think you said that these types of programs will create more not less clutter than email?
Is that a good or bad thing?
For a moment I was thinking that these would be safer for than email for things like attachments and links, but then I realize if the user can send via these programs, so can a virus.
One advantage that we can have with these types of programs though is that we can chat at or near real time about things that are being exchanged. So if something just kinda popped in there, we should be skeptical before opening it, but then I realized that a bot could be made to have a mini conversation over it as well....
Damn this is hard

These things definitely add clutter. Having worked a few places that use them, it gets really messy, really quickly.

I just want a universal replacement for email - I hate it, I Hate it, I HATE it!

It's not email I hate, it's the protocols. My God they're all so awful.

I will definitely bug you if needed. Did you see that we got a working install script that made the install quick and easy on CentOS 7?

It's looking great.

Great, I will check this for sure. Along with video conf and file sharing, is there an option for screen sharing as well? I remember slack has screenhero for this
I couldn't find much info about the webhooks available for rocket.chat
-
@Ambarishrh Yes there is, you just need to install the Chrome or Firefox extentions.

Definitely, I'd love to work on IRC access eventually, something along those lines.
