Clearly separate issue and bug reports The issue tracker should be for bugs only. Right now actual bugs can easily fall through the cracks because we get stuck answering questions and basically providing tech support. This move is also intended to have more traffic to our subreddit and IRC channel with the hope that the community can also help itself out.

doc: Add Gitter room The Gitter room https://gitter.im/polybar/polybar should serve a similar purpose as the IRC room with the benefit that messages persist and can be received when offline. From now on gitter should be the place where the polybar community lives. Reddit is great for asking longer questions in the style of a forum but not so great for quick back and forth conversations. IRC is better in that aspect but has the serious downside that you have to stay connected to get an answer and messages are not logged (only by your client). Both reddit and IRC are here to stay and I will still check them regularly, but we should encourage people to join gitter.
