That is true, I exaggerated. On the other hand, the for the developers that should write the software for the 10x10 goals 100+ million users, IRC is very useful. And more developers and gnome contributors are needed. Merging the irc.gnome.org server with the Freenode network, or making the domain redirect to a Freenode server would be trivial and would hardly inconvenience anyone. It is not the most important thing to do, just one small baby step in the right direction, IMO. -- mvh Björn _______________________________________________ Gnome-infrastructure mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-infrastructure
