Announcement
I
have created and registered two channels, both unofficial:
irc://irc.freenode.net/##caldav-google
irc://irc.freenode.net/##caldav-google
irc://irc.freenode.net/##caldav-interop
irc://irc.freenode.net/##caldav-interop
Within
each channel: the topic should be self-explanatory, and may be
refined if needs arise.
Intention
In
unofficial venues such as this, users may:
speak
freely about their first impression of a problem
gain
direction
address
a request for support, a request that is more refined, to the
organisation that is best placed to consider the issue(s).
Background
'
http://groups.google.com/group/calaboration-discuss/browse_thread/thread/8b023631ae28e9ea>";
What a nuisance this program is ' is exemplary of a discussion that
has little or nothing to do with the thing (
http://code.google.com/p/calaboration/ Calabaration ) on which a Group
is focused.
Within
and beyond the Calabaration area, there exist other examples of
off-topic, sometimes frustrated discussions.
Without
being pessimistic: we (users and developers of CalDAV-oriented
products and services) may reasonably expect occasional streams of
'confused newcomers'. These streams may be larger following any
significant product/service announcement.

[05:44] <grahamperrin> JeffreyH and osaf-log: minor announcement of
two unofficial channels ##caldav-interop and ##caldav-google
[05:45] <grahamperrin> Topics may be refined in due course.
[05:47] <grahamperrin> The value of the latter became clear as I
observed some very off-topic pleas for help in a Google Group for a
Google Code product,
[05:47] <grahamperrin> a product intended for one-off use by Apple
iCal users of Google Calendar.
[05:48] Action: grahamperrin quits to take lunch!
