Good to see it be open sourced. I'm disappointed there's no XMPP gateway, OTR chat encryption or Gitlab integration however.

There's a Git integration that you can use with GitLab or anything else that supports post-receive hooks. But it would be cool if someone contributed a more slick GitLab integration :)
Also there is a beta XMPP gateway at bots/jabber_mirror.py that can mirror traffic with an XMPP setup. It's beta because it's kinda annoying to setup; feel free to reach out on the development list for help if you have issues setting it up.
One note is that the a key feature of Zulip is thread-level topics which aren't really supported by XMPP; see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10280817 for more discussion of this.
Ah good to know - thanks for the info.
I just spotted this though: "Currently, the automated Zulip server installation process only supports Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty"
Not at all keen to run Ubuntu, if it was available on CentOS 7 or Debian I'd give it a go but I guess I'll hold off for now.
Yeah we run Debian Wheezy in production, so it's definitely possible, just I don't have a nice automated install process handy -- there's a thread about it here:

https://github.com/zulip/zulip/issues/33 is open for adding a slick GitLab integration
