Why not Gitter? It's really easy and plugs right into your Github.

That's fine unless you're not a developer, don't have a Github account, don't know what it is and don't want one.

For any wide-usage FOSS project, that'll describe quite a lot of their users.

How is Slack better? At least with Gitter you just need a GitHub account, with Slack you have to create a new account for every Channel you might want to use.

Did you read the article?
