Our own home on freenode.net

["William A. Rowe, Jr." <wr...@rowe-clan.net>]

Folks,

   it seems that the #apr channel (a great place to hang out) seems to
be detoured frequently into off-topic other-project traffic (including
a bogus redirect of cvs@httpd commits at that channel.)

   since nothing else quite fit, and I sure didn't want alot of end user
traffic, a new #httpd-dev channel exists for those fighting through the
muck and mire of keeping httpd/trunk/ building.

   please, remember that IRC is not a substitute for the mailing list,
votes must happen here, decisions must be discussed here, and ideally,
if you brainstorm something cool on #httpd-dev, post the recap here.

   otherwise, just a fun/friendly place to hang out for httpd'ers, so
feel free to drop by.

Bill

one nice aspect, once chipig reconfigures the noise from the CIA bot,
will be monitoring httpd commit traffic on #httpd-dev.  So as you
point out, #apache-modules is a nice place to hang out without that
extra noise.

Hmmm.

I'm not really convinced we need another channel.  We already have
#apache-modules, which deals with httpd (as well as module) hacking,
and has largely the same membership as #apr (and modest traffic -
we don't generally have a problem keeping helpdesk traffic to #apache:-)
