Mark, Kudos to you for pointing this out. Yes the mailing list should always be the primary mode of communication. Decisions should not be made on IRC. However people may need some live communication mechanism at times rather than sending several short emails and waiting for a response each time. This is a big debate though. We just need to be diligent to make sure anything of value discussed on IRC is posted here on the mailing list.
I also know that IRC access is a problem with several corporate firewalls so I went ahead and set up the following cgi based irc proxy: http://www.safehaus.org/cgi-bin/irc.cgi You can use it to get on a number of preselected channels on freenode and the codehaus servers. Hope that ameliorates some of your concerns. Another thing we need is a nice bot to capture a log and post it on the MINA site. Regards, Alex On 3/6/07, Mark Webb <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Unless there is a way to access IRC via a browser(port 80/443), I won't be able to use it at work.
