I think its a great idea. I had no idea that there was one there before
now. 

I regularly drop in to the Ada and tiki channels there. Sometimes a
quick answer or pointer to some ideas gets a much faster response than a
mailing list. Each venue has its own uses.

Also I'm assuming that the chat site on contribs.org is a web chat?  I
must have missed the announcement!  I'll have to check it out,
