Telegram Group for Devs?

I'm game.

My rationale is:
As IRC is dropping in use, Telegram may be an appropriate replacement for quicker communication than the forums or email can provide.

If there are any concerns about keeping things public, we can likely program a bot for logging.

I'd give it a go, but I can't guarantee any kind of regularity from me.

I'd prefer Slack personally, I'm on it every day as part of three different teams already, although the history limitation for unpaid Slack may not be to everyone's liking.
