Create Mattermost backend

[megamorf]

We use Mattermost (an open source slack alternative) in our company and since it tries to be API-compatible with slack the work on the backend should be manageable.

Can we have a chat on Gitter/slack to discuss the technical implementation of the current slack backend?

Thanks in advance ;-)

@megamorf, hit me up and I'll get you added to the DevOpsLibrary slack where some/a lot of this takes place. 😄

Also, we're keeping an eye on mattermost here and I'm reasonably sure I can contribute to this issue.

Edit: DM on reddit, or on twitter unless you want to post your email publicly.

This sounds like an awesome idea!

I've tested breaking out the backends into separate PS modules so I think we should go that route for this one. I'll create an example repo for what a backend should look like.

@michaeltlombardi @megamorf Here is an example repo for what a backend should look like. I tried to make it clear what each class/method does but let me know if anything doesn't make sense.

I was wondering if there has been any progress on the feature.

@ducke I have not done any work on a Mattermost backend. Hoping someone who actually uses it will take up the challenge :smile:

After a quick glance of the API docs, I think it would only take a moderate amount of effort to replicate how the Slack backend works.
