IRC is great and all, and I'm all for having as many channels as people feel a need for. Just keep in mind that the ASF approach to projects is to ensure that decision making is done in public and very openly. I think the implication of that is that most discussion that leads directly to a decision, and definitely any actual decision making, should happen on the mailing list(s).
That's the way I've always understood it anyway. Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong.
