Recently, Andrew Wang and I were at an academic conference where one of the attendees (a grad student) was mentioning that his posts to the IRC channel are never answered.
Personally, I haven't been using the IRC channel. Neither do I know anyone who is actively monitoring it. I am emailing to check: 1. Are there folks actively monitoring the IRC channel and answering questions? 2. If there is no one, should we consider retiring the channel? Thanks Karthik
