If the "official" tag on the title is the problem, I don't have any issue changing it. However, I personally despise mailing list. I can barely stand this one for the sheer amount of emails, but I'll survive.
IRC is a place to go to either discuss the technology, ask a consensus among several flex experts or ask questions pertinant to Flex that isn't easily accessible through search. It's a place of discussion, not only of Q&A. In no way should this be a replacement for this mailing list, it is only for Flex users to get help on their implementation or ask questions related to the tech. The content is not searchable, but that's not really the point of it. If you want something that's been asked a thousand times, you can always google or look at stackoverflow which has a huge database of all questions and their answers. However, it's very hard to ask more theoretical questions or ask a possible solution for a unique situation. This is why I like IRC. So, with this said, if this isn't the "official" flex irc channel, what do you want me to call it? Just "Apache Flex Help Channel"? I'm really hoping to get it at the very least on the project page so that people can find it easily.
