buntfalke made a good suggestion yesterday and I bring it to your
attention: can we merge the #sage-devel and #sage-support channels by
forwarding all connections to #sage-support to #sage-devel?

I benefited a lot from #sage-support when I was starting out last
year, and usually I tell visitors there to try #sage-devel, but
occasionally folks drop by, ask for help, and quit before schilly or
myself (aldebrn) or one of the few other idlers can get to them. I
know it's not that hard to read the topic in #sage-support but enough
people seem to not do so, prompting this suggestion.

Perhaps also stating in the topic of #sage-devel that questions posted
there will eventually get responses, and advising visitors to post to
the sage-support mailing list for a more reliable method of getting
answers. It's a small thing that might go far in conveying to
beginners that there are people willing to help them.

Best,
Ahmed
