[jira] [Commented] (MNG-3726) Extend POM model to support declaration of IRC channels

["Elliotte Rusty Harold (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-3726?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17002217#comment-17002217 ] 

Elliotte Rusty Harold commented on MNG-3726:
--------------------------------------------

IRC seems too specific. E.g. what about Slack or whatever we're using 5 years from now? Can this be more generic?

> The POM is already capable of holding mailing list infos so I wonder whether it should support IRC, too. Not sure if this is really sensible or maybe too exotic or seldom.
> In more detail, the required POM snippet might look like this:
> {code:xml}
> <ircChannels>
>   <ircChannel>
>     <name>Maven Talk</name>
>     <channel>#maven</channel>
>     <server>irc://irc.codehaus.org/</server>
>     <web>http://irc.codehaus.org/</web>
>     <logs>http://dev.rectang.com/logs/codehaus/%23maven/</logs>
>   </ircChannel>
> </ircChannels>
> {code}
> The Maven Project Info Reports Plugin should then be able to pick that up and integrate it nicely into the site, maybe like illustrated by the [Mojo Site|http://mojo.codehaus.org/irc.html].
