As regards privacy, whatever happened to the 'board' mailing list that I saw mentioned ? Why was it made private ? Does it have any current traffic. Shouldn't THAT be made public ????? IRC is public. I'm not talking about a 'private room'. Just somewhere people can banter a bit (sometimes it is easier to just chat) Anyway, it's not in the constitution so it can't be banned. I note on Freenode there is already #sme-fr If there is anything of any merit then I would post here anyway. I'm more thinking of somewhere we can all get a bit 'warm & cuddly' ;-) It definitely SHOULDN'T be for bugs or such like - they have their place. It was me thinking about it being a pub for a bit of after hours banter !!! Sometime this place feels a bit soulless and it would be good to get to know people a bit more. So anyway, not that I know much about IRC, I have setup #SME_Server on Freenode I think I have set myself as op, but it's years since I have used it so if anyone would like to give me some advice on running it, or helping run it then please join in. It's a bit empty at the minute :-) _______________________________________________ Discussion about project organisation and overall direction To unsubscribe, e-mail [email protected] Searchable archive at http://lists.contribs.org/mailman/public/discussion/
