By the same token, there are more people around to answer. Students should be encouraged to ping mentors and other relevant people so their questions are seen. Questions won't be seen any better in a channel with fewer people -- you'll have less scrollback to go through, sure, but also fewer people checking the scrollback. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
