That'll be a nice Hanukkah/early Christmas gift, depending on when it lands :)
Will there ever be a way to show on gitter that a gitter account and a matrix account are the same person? I'm pretty active on gitter right now, and I'd like to choose a homeserver to have an account on so that my messages from the gitter client (logged in with gh) and the messages from a matrix client are from the same user. Would github login allow that?
Edit: also, what's the plan for private/invite-only gitter rooms?
