Matrix protocol for chat

I think this sums it up pretty well:

@sam

I am not sure that what we have here is a money problem. It’s more of a people problem, we need somebody capable of delivering here that understands both matrix and discourse really well. These people are extremely rare.

I think it’ll either take someone like this surfacing serendipitously, or it’ll take this rising to the level of importance for us where it makes sense for us to shift focus away from some other priorities and towards matrix support. But we haven’t yet seen a compelling case to do that yet, so the opportunistic option seems more likely in the short term.
