IRC has been a useful tool for timely community brainstorming to handle issues that need quick attention.
We have started to summarize the chat content on the mailing list in messages that include the IRC chat. That is very useful. It would be good to decide on chat subject before the chat session starts and publish it on mailing list. This gives a chance to people in different time zones to decide on whether they need to attend the chat or not. On 7/5/06, Simon Nash <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I think a weekly one-hour scheduled IRC chat is a good idea, even though my personal record of attendance isn't too good :-( I have scheduled these into my calendar now, whoch should help. The few chats I have been on have been useful, though perhaps closer to decision-making affairs than would ideally follow the Apache model. (Sample: what are we going to do about these JIRAs?) However, it was useful to reach quick decisions on these and the chat seemed to be a reasonable way to do this. The current time is OK for me.
