So your requested suggestion for a name (see the other mail) was between cocoon and lenya, because that channels exist? > irc is about community, and creating more channels is totally counter to > that. you'd want to make more people casually aware of what's going on > without having them to join yet another channel. > Totally agree but that could be done as well in the suggested channel.

From the #cocoon-federation channel e.g. it is possible to send messages to #lenya and as well follow their conversion. It would be a kind of meta chat. e.g. #cocoon-federation bot lenya bot cocoon bot ... ... #cocoon bot cocoon-federation ... Me add #cocoon-federation: I want to write to #lenya: @lenya say my text I want to subscribe to the lenya discussion: @lenya subscribe ... In this case I can lurk on #cocoon/#lenya being on #cocoon-federation. I do not see any dividing thing on that. The only thing that I do not know whether that is possible but I guess so. BTW a new mailing list would do nearly the same thing. salu2 -- thorsten "Together we stand, divided we fall!" Hey you (Pink Floyd)
