Gee, now here is a sensitive subject. :-)
IRC BTW is very flaky if you don't have good connection (as most people
at AC currently experience). Mail is much better for that because it is
not as volatile as IRC.
Aside from that I do agree with most things that wrowe wrote. I know of
at least one project in Jakarta where developers tried to "move
decisions to IRC" and almost killed the project. IRC is a not a good
thing if you want to have a community discuss decisions unless all
developers are in the same time zone (and not even then).
Best regards

Has anyone ever considered making IRC chats available (on some basis) as
an Apache archive? Seems that Apache (myself included) doesn't like IRC
so much because it is not available to those of us who because of time
zone or other reasons can't attend.
If it's added to an Apache archive, it is searchable and immediately
available to search engines.
Surely Web 2.0 has solved this simple issue!

Subject: Re: IRC Channel?
I am not a big fan of IRC, besides all consequential discussions will
have to be logged on the mailing list anyways. But I certainly have
no objections for the channel being there.
Right. It's nicer for more casual conversation. Sometimes it's
easier for
real-time interaction as well.
As another idea, we could try to do a developer Skype chat or
something. I
think the Tapestry folks did it once and it sounded like kind of a neat
idea. I know my interaction with just about everyone here has been email
only.
