Also I don't think the GNOME IRC channels are actually used like that at all, even though its a tempting simplification of the problem. There is very little chat of substance on #gnome-hackers througout the day and when there is its usually deeply technical stuff. It's almost as if people are a little afraid of the list of 180+ of nicknames staring at them. If you want to know what is happening in the GNOME community right now, IRC is definitely not the place to be. It's not a place to look someone over the shoulder and say "oh hey, thats an interesting idea you're working on there, have you thought of doing _this_ ...". IRC is two-way real-time communication and all sorts of etiquette burdens apply. A microblog is your own personal space and you can share whatever matters to you, whenever it matters. By the way, I like idea of a character limit as it gives these nice snack-like messages (unlike mails on the mailing lists, which can get rather dense). -- Anders Feder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
