It is very reasonable!

We could add a Gitter chat. That's easy, lightweight and done in a minute.
It's even possible to add the very same chat room as a "sidecar" to the website! :trophy: (see the Chocolatey website for a real-world example)

Nah, I'm not into that so much now. (This ticket is a decade old, like most of the tickets you replied on now.)

I like Gitter a lot, though. It feels very light and it there's a very low barrier for people to join the conversion. Yet still, it seems like chat SPAM is almost non-existent; probably because the audience is really tech-savvy developers.
Take these examples, and make up your mind: (again :smirk:)
- Django (high traffic)
- LEGO ev3dev (medium traffic)
- pyenv (medium-low traffic)
- behave BDD (low traffic)
- behave-django (even less traffic)
The chat is integrated with GitHub, which makes it easy to refer to issues, PRs and commits.
Some repos add a badge on top of the README to signal that this communication channel is available.

Okay, sounds good, feel free to create one and add that badge if you'd like.

PR #129 adds a badge to the chat, then we're all set.

If you care about adding the forum also to your website simply add the following code at the end of the document's <body>:
<script>
((window.gitter = {}).chat = {}).options = {room: 'PythonTurtle/Lobby'};
</script>
<script src="https://sidecar.gitter.im/dist/sidecar.v1.js" async defer></script>
(from: https://sidecar.gitter.im/)
