+A great open source project needs a great group chat service.  Here's
+why we think Zulip is the best choice you can make today.
+
+(Psst, I'll spoil the ending: not only is Zulip itself open source,
+but hosting on zulipchat.com is free for open source projects.
+[Sign up now](https://zulipchat.com/beta/)!)
+
+## Great for developers
+
+* Messages take Markdown formatting, [including code
+  blocks](/help/format-your-message-using-markdown#code).  Super easy
+  to discuss code, paste error messages, etc.
+
+* Want to refer to issues or code reviews with short notation like
+  `#1234`, `T1234` -- or any other style of your own?  Set up any
+  regex as a [custom linkification
+  filter](/help/add-a-custom-linkification-filter) for your
+  organization.
+
+* Have a design discussion in chat and want to link to it in your bug
+  tracker or a commit message?  [Two
+  clicks](/help/share-a-message-or-conversation) makes a permanent
+  link.  The URL transparently shows where the discussion happened,
+  and for everyone who clicks through, Zulip's topic threading
+  provides a focused view on that conversation.
+
+* Chat troubleshooting for users or new developers becomes much more
+  manageable with Zulip's topic threading: each issue in a channel can
+  be discussed in its own thread.
+
+## Great for productivity
+
+* With Zulip's unique model of threading by topic, your community can
+  have more than one conversation in a channel at the same time,
+  without the confusion and talking-over caused by traditional models
+  like IRC and Slack.  (Extra handy for holding a synchronous chat
+  meeting with 5-20 people and making good use of everyone's time!)
+
+* No limited "try it out" tier -- [host it
+  yourself](https://zulip.readthedocs.io/en/latest/prod-install.html),
+  or [sign up at zulipchat.com](https://zulipchat.com/beta/) for
+  commercially-supported hosting, free for open source projects.
+
+* Fast, full-text search through your full, unlimited message history.
+
+* [Stop by
+  chat.zulip.org](https://zulip.readthedocs.io/en/latest/chat-zulip-org.html),
+  Zulip's own development community, to see it in action for a large
+  project with ~5000 messages/week, essentially all of it productive
+  developer discussion.
+
+## Great for open communities
+
+* Sleek, modern [apps for every platform](/apps/) make Zulip an
+  inclusive choice for everyone in your community.
+
+* No need to invite people one by one into your community, or use a
+  third-party bot to do so -- [one
+  checkbox](/help/allow-anyone-to-join-without-an-invitation) opens
+  your Zulip organization for anyone to join.
+
+* Want to link to your Zulip organization with a nice badge in your
+  README?  [Done.](/help/join-zulip-chat-badge)
+
+<!--- This needs better documentation. -->
+* GitHub auth?  [We've got that.](https://github.com/zulip/zulip/blob/7e9926233/zproject/prod_settings_template.py#L112)
+
+* Zulip scales well to large communities -- it's loved by communities
+  as large as 1000 users and beyond.
+
+## Zulip ❤​ open source
+
+* Zulip itself is open source, [under the Apache License 2.0](https://github.com/zulip/zulip/blob/master/LICENSE).
+
+* Full, commercially-supported hosting at zulipchat.com ([signup
+  page](https://zulipchat.com/beta/)) is free for open source
+  communities.
+
+<!--- This needs better -- any! -- documentation. -->
+* Your data is yours -- Zulip's high-quality export and import tools
+  enable migrating a community smoothly from one host to another.
+  So if you start out running on zulipchat.com, you can always choose
+  later to move to your own servers, and vice versa.
+
+* Zulip is the leading open source group chat option, with far more
+  contributor momentum than any other.  Some numbers:
+
+   * Over 300 contributors in the Zulip server project alone -- a
+     figure reached in only 18 months.
+
+   * 75 people working on Zulip at the PyCon sprints in Portland in
+     May 2017.
+
+   * In the [Zulip Server 1.6
+     release](https://blog.zulip.org/2017/06/06/zulip-server-1-6-released/)
+     in June 2017, over 3100 new commits since 1.5, by over 150
+     different people.
