Topic at the moment: > Congratulations on Chrome 1.0! | > See http://www.google.com/support/chrome/ for general help | > IRC logs: http://echelog.matzon.dk/?chromium
= Suggestions = 1. Topic should first and foremost state that it's a developer room. 2. Topic should include http URLs that are relevant to the room. So, include at least http://dev.chromium.org/ and http://dev.chromium.org/developers/technical-discussion-groups 3. Topic should steer non-developers to http://www.google.com/chrome I guess that it's way too late to have irc://irc.freenode.net/#chromium-dev in lieu of irc://irc.freenode.net/#chromium ;) = Background = People like me use IRC rooms — as often, or more often than web browsing — as starting points for numerous technologies. >From irc://irc.freenode.net/#chromium then via Google searching I found my way to messages within a Google Group for Google Chrome that was not official. Then, yet another Google Group for Google Chrome that was not official. Then, references to 'chromium-dev' without a suffix, and searches led me to an established chromium-dev list. Then, a Google Group for chromium-dev that was official to Chrome. Then, searches led me to a less well established chromium-dev list. >From Google search results, it was not immediately obvious which of the two chromium-dev lists were related to Chrome. Finally, there remained the question of whether the Google Group for chromium-dev was an archive of messages sent to the chromium-dev list. (OT: I tend to prefer traditional e-mail to Google Groups, because AFAIR the Groups UI doesn't respect basics such as angle bracket- enclosed URLs.) I found my way here, eventually, but it was a _less_ than sterling introduction! (My thanks to IRC room members who helped me to unravel what was missing from the topic.) Hence, the value of a refined topic for the developer room in IRC :) TIA Graham --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Chromium-dev" group.
