It is, but it's true nevertheless. I suppose I'd have to abstain in that case. Would an "I'd be happy to have a chat platform but don't care which one" option defeat the purpose? > > In other words, this isn't a technology problem, it's a people > > problem. > > Both.

That suggests that abstaining is the right answer for people without a preference, I guess. > > Do enough of the core devs actually *want* to hang out in a > > chat forum to achieve critical mass and make it worthwhile? > > Yes, that's why the choice exist that "We don't want any chat platform". OK, as long as you don't also assume that abstention means "not interested in chat". > > Also, what would we talk about? > > Just as #python-dev or #python, but more constrained to committer > discussions. Sorry, I don't use IRC so that doesn't help much (maybe that suggests I should have said my preference is "anything except IRC" :-)) Although the reason I never really did much with IRC was that it seemed a bit too focused on the drop-in "hey, can anyone help" type of interaction. So if that's a fair assessment then I can go with that (and in that case I'd revise my vote to "not interested", as I probably wouldn't stay logged onto a chat system if it was limited to that type of conversation).
