• Glip - not possible, no API ?
• Wechat - too much red tape, too little english. PR welcome
• Tox - no pure go library. PR welcome

Sidenote:
Awesome project and thanks for taking the time and publishing it openly.

Support for Rocket.Chat would be great. See https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat

[42wim]

Thanks for the feedback.
I'm also trying to make the config more flexible to combine multiple bridges in a gateway, more or less like the example in issue #9

Any comments ?

Would like to suggest discord support :) reactiflux/discord-irc#100

[42wim]

@jleclanche well, discord support has just been added in current master ;-)
Also decided to use your TOML configuration file because gcfg was not expressive enough.

[lagleki]

would like Telegram https://github.com/FruitieX/teleirc

[42wim]

@lagleki unfortunately telegram needs a phone-number to join (and I'm not willing to give mine). On the other hand the bot API is implemented in Go, so it would be quite easy to add it.

If you're willing to be my test-user I can try to add it.

[thybag]

Unsure how easy it'd be to add, but being able to bridge to hipchat would be a nice to have.

[jlsjonas]

@42wim I'll gladly offer myself for that (telegram), might even (if I find enough spare time) send a PR

[42wim]

@jlsjonas thanks! Please let me know the results in #80

[scanline77]

Would be really nice to see mattermost to Skype group chat. Sameroom.io offers this as service so I imagine they are using Microsoft's API. This would be worth making a donation on its own.

[42wim]

@tobru rocket.chat support got just added, feedback welcome :-)

[42wim]

@PGladwin seems that there's a rest API for skype on https://docs.botframework.com/en-us/skype/chat/
That's good news, no .net SDK needed.

[ananace]

Could a possible additional bridge to add be Matrix?

There are several already existing bridges and an Application Service API spec. (Though admittedly it's still marked as unstable)
