Any idea if GitHub will ever alter the way that works so you can avoid it
giving you write access. I was all ready to give Gitter a go until I saw the
permissions that would be granted. Sure you're trust worthy but us IT types
can be paranoid ;-)

Hi, this is Andrew from Gitter.

And we completely understand. We're waiting on Github to update their OAuth
scopes, and we understand that they're working on it.

If you're not comfortable with the OAuth permissions Gitter requires, you
could try Gitter's sister product, Troupe [https://trou.pe](https://trou.pe).
It's got most of the same features, but with less Github integration and no
markdown or syntax highlighting.

Pretty cool but I can't see having another chat client on top of Hipchat. Wish
there was some way to bake this into Hipchat since the features look awesome.
Great work!
