Hi Rob, I'd like to wait on this as we'd like to coordinate more, we don't want to have multiple channels to monitor and this is only for a certain number of cutting edge people, some have chosen other channels. I don't see how it removes redundancy, could you explain that? Thanks Susan

Create a gitter.im lobby for chatting, and add a gitter badge to the README file. This is the hypothetical link you would use:

I would create the PR myself, but I think I would need primary access. I think this would help create a community for discussion, and remove some of the redundant Issues that occur.

You could take 5 vetted individuals who are well versed in phyloseq and R programming (but not working on the phylsoeq package directly), get them to join the lobby, and point people to the lobby for answers by default with GitHubs Issue Templates. You could also explicitly tell people to go there, when their issues aren't really issues. The vetted members can answer outstanding questions, and eventually there will be plenty of people in the lobby to answer questions as time moves forward.
I realize that this is an open source project and there might not be enough resources, man power, or motivation for that.
I am afraid that it's worse than "opensource", we are not funded either, so most of us (~3) work on weekends and off hours, I don't see that we have the resources right now, but we are thinking of ways to support our project, so this is going to be one of the strategies we could consider going forward, Susan
