There are times when I have a quick question about something not in the documentation that I’m sure someone other than @boutell could answer. Currently, there’s nowhere I can go for these simple questions, unless I want to create a two line stack-exchange question. One example would be I wasn’t sure how to do webfonts when bundling assets and uploading to s3.
I think an easy solution to this would be to have Gitter for quick tiny questions (and to have a more easily accessible communitiy), stack-exchange for bigger questions, and the forums for what seem to be more philosophical questions about apostrophe. I would say Slack, but I doubt everyone wants their slack to get polluted with one more thing giving notifications.
