...who said you have to pay to get on IRC? The only thing you have to "pay" for to get on IRC is your Internet connection, but that would make Wikipedia a for-pay service too. There are plenty of free IRC clients, such as ChatZilla, xChat, and irssi....
Of course, all this rambling is just to say that only one of your points is valid, but then again, the time point is why most IRC meetings take place after some on-wiki discussion about the best time to hold said meeting. Also, holding meetings on IRC is in some ways better than on-wiki, as it is considered by some (myself included) to be a more open environment for discussion. -- --FastLizard4 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:FastLizard4 | http://scalar.cluenet.org/~fastlizard4 ) Sent from my iPod Touch On Nov 23, 2009, at 0:04, Giacomo M-Z <[email protected]> wrote: > Oh that sounds really interesting, I will pay some money to join IRC > and > then get up at 2am to participate.
