Well, FWIWI, we already have IRC for support. It was set up completely independently of the project. It's been around for years. Right now, as I type, there are 64 connectins on #bacula on FreeNode. IRC works. For some people. I've been using IRC for support (both giving and receiving since 1998). Peak times seem to be morning Europe time to early evening east-coast North America, Monday to Friday. - -- Dan Langille BSDCan - The Technical BSD Conference : http://www.bsdcan.org/ PGCon - The PostgreSQL Conference: http://www.pgcon.org/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.11 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkn3rbgACgkQCgsXFM/7nTwU2wCgtKHTP94PHxJidwACbts580Iy TsgAoLdjvxLpmRUKzP//hxdbocxTWAvW =kUJ1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Register Now & Save for Velocity, the Web Performance & Operations Conference from O'Reilly Media.
