I still use IRC. It's extremely useful for developers who are geographically separated from each other, especially for open source products. It's also useful for when a specific problem arises with said open source program, and I can go ask the people who actually use/develop the software where I'm going wrong.
I gotta say, usually the open source community has the faster, more accurate support at 3am for free... compared to some commercial company's slower, read from a script support at 3pm for a fee. --Matt Ross Ephrata School District ----- Original Message ----- From: Alex Eckelberry [mailto:[email protected]] To: NT System Admin Issues [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tue, 11 May 2010 06:30:31 -0700 Subject: RE: sunbelt IRC channel/Server > We don't use IRC alas. > > From: John Hornbuckle [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Tuesday, May 11, 2010 6:17 AM > To: NT System Admin Issues > Subject: RE: sunbelt IRC channel/Server > > IRC?
