Is the gitter channel dead?

Yes, this is the Community hangout place. Also, as mentioned at https://wekan.github.io , there Feature Requests and Bug reports are at GitHub issues https://github.com/wekan/wekan/issues

This Community is PWA app, so with Android webbrowser this https://community.vanila.io can be set as App icon like any other Android app. PWA is the latest hot stuff.

For IRC users, there is IRC channel address mentioned somewhere at IRC FAQ for those who really read all of the required reading of IRC FAQ first https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/IRC-FAQ

That IRC FAQ is just because some do no know how to "idle" and stay at IRC channel waiting for answer

Some "oldtimers" IRC users do know how to idle.

This Community PWA is for newest generation of community, there is email summaries of public discussion, and private "Messages" area button at top bar for private discussions

Gitter was used very long time ago. There also has been previously 2 different RocketChat servers.

And there also was previously Discourse forum, that also has been discontinued, but someone does still post there sometime.

Here this Wekan Community is part of larger Vanila Community. Vanila Community has about 3k members of Meteor.js / Javascript / Frontend / Startup / Growth Hacking etc

Vanila has also made Wireflow Meteor app https://github.com/vanila-io/wireflow

It's Open Source

etc

Yeah here is a lot of cool kids

It seems Gitter channel is not dead. Someone new asked something there, and I answered.

I got email notification about new messages at Gitter.
