Including a separate chat channel in the mix is a good thing.  It can 
often be
hard to get a word in edgewise in ontolog related meetings.  This would
enable more voices to be heard.  That can get a little out of hand at times,
but that problem is manageable and the benefit outweighs the risk.    (01)

I have no preference on chat tools/technology.    (02)
