You probably mean _increased_ the SNR. SNR is Signal-to-Noise Ratio, and if it's high, then it's better. (it's a term derived from Electrical Engineering :-)). In any case, I like this idea so much that I started a charter for this list on the Hackers-IL Wiki: http://www.hackers.org.il/mediawiki/index.php/Linux-il-chat Feel free to correct or add more things there (or say your opinion below), or in the Discuss this page link. Note that I haven't formed the mailing list yet, nor intend to in the meantime. It's just that I like this idea.
