> On what URLs you saw the IRC channel? So, IRC mentions I found in maven-site: * ./content/fml/about.fml (https://maven.apache.org/about.html) https://github.com/apache/maven-site/blob/master/content/fml/about.fml#L99 * ./content/markdown/community.md (https://maven.apache.org/community.html) https://github.com/apache/maven-site/blame/master/content/markdown/community.md#L88 * ./content/xdoc/index.xml.vm (https://maven.apache.org) https://github.com/apache/maven-site/blob/master/content/xdoc/index.xml.vm#L118
I can prepare a PR for this change, I will remove the existing mentions of the IRC channel and maybe will come up with a good sentence for joining Slack chat for committers :) Thanks, Dawid Pura śr., 8 wrz 2021 o 23:17 Enno Thieleke <[email protected]> napisał(a): > As one of the new guys, I can confirm that IRC is misleading and > confusing.
