As a regular IRC user, I have nothing against trying that. It would make a good excuse to create #debian-meeting (similar to #ubuntu-meeting with facilities to create IRC logs, a topic with a schedule and a bot to translate hours in any local timezone). But I don't see IRC as a very effective "mass-communication mechanism" [1] and as such, it would probably be more useful to discuss the status of various projects and inform people interested to help so that they are up-to-date and can help effectively. Cheers, [1] Because not everybody uses IRC (Moritz for example doesn't use it often), because it's difficult to refer to an IRC discussion and because the ideas discussed "live" are not always well thought out. -- Raphaël Hertzog Le best-seller français mis à jour pour Debian Etch : http://www.ouaza.com/livre/admin-debian/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
