IRC Eclipse Chat Room Started [message #88612] Fri, 25 July 2003 23:11 Go to next message

Hi Guys,

I approached the webmaster (eclipse.org) regarding an IRC chat room. He said
that that idea was rejected by the working committe (or whatever), however
there was nothing stopping us from starting one ourselves, and discussing
whatever we want in it..

So I've started one on EFNET. #eclipse-users (#eclipse was taken).

I have a bot on the channel 24/7 but I would need some more human Ops as
well. Plus some ppl. who know eclipse well.. (not I) :) I'm still working
on the channel and the bot.. but it's operational.

Since this seems to be the first irc room, it isn't specific to any aspect
of eclipse at all. If it gets populated then we could split into normal
users, developers and then further split into gef developers .. I dunno.
Since I'm more familiar with users on this group, I decided to mail here
first.

If you guys are interested; please let me know. Or better yet, join the
channel directly.

I connect thru: irc.choopa.net Port: 6667
Room: #eclipse-users
My Nick: IProteus

I'm on for around 8-10 hours a day from 2:30 am (GMT) onwards-

Looking forward to meeting you guys there,

Brian.

If you have any suggestions, do let me know.

irc.choopa.net dropped the connection. Are there other servers that one
can connect to and see the channel? (I am untrained in IRC.)

A thing to consider with the above approach is that "solutions"
presented on the channel are not made public for later reference as are
posts to the newsgroup. (Or maybe I just don't know how to obtain the
history of a channel?) Anyone experince in this area?

People getting help via the IRC channel might consider to contribute
back the insight to the news group or something - any suggestions as to
how this could be done in a good way?

Cheers,

Hi Nikolaj,

I'm now using irc.rt.ru:6661


Regarding the solutions, usually what is done is, the conversations are
logged. I'm sure the bot can be set up to do this, but logging the
converstaions might be useless if they aren't indexed or categorized.

I have little experience in this matter; but I'll look it up. Still getting
my feet wet with the channel management.

Bye,
Brian.
