Cocoon on IRC
Just out of curiosity, how many people on this list a) have access to IRC b)
would find it useful to have, for example, a #cocoon channel on IRCNet (or
whichever is your preferred network)?
Also, would any of our illustrious developers be prepared to either lurk or
participate if we did this? IMHO, the amount of traffic on this list and the
nature of the questions might be more quickly resolved in an interactive
environment. Given the tone and mind-set of the list, I think it would be
quite a friendly place to be!
Anyway, I'm currently lurking in #cocoon on IRCNet, so if anyone fancies
joining me you're welcome :o)
Thanks,

Personally I'd find that helpful and (generally) productive, yes. I already
lurk in a private IRC network (internal to the company).

Dunno if I count as an illustrious developer, but it'd certainly be good
for the people who are building this thing, and the people using it to
have a bit of 'face to face'.

How does OPN grab people? (I'm not a great fan of packet kiddies)

I'll be happy to help but I don't think i'm ready by now.
I have to use it a lot more to be confortable with the
framework.

This is very sad. It makes the archives quite useless.

And perhaps 99% if :
- a clean documentation was written (I know it costs a lots of time,
but getting started with cocoon is quite painful)
- the archives were searchable.

Actually 90% of the questions on this list would be better answered if
people read the FAQ or searched the archives.

Dan,
most universities block the access to the IRC channels. :(

irc.openprojects.net is a good place for this sort of channel. And yeah,
I'd consider IRC if it were available for realtime help. And anyway,
nobody there got to my nick first *grin*

Quite possibly freindly - I know of few channels that aren't. Well, OK,
few that I have frequented in the past.
