Hi,
Also I'd like to echo the sentiment that it's yet another communications channel that I'd need to keep track of - I don't know where any of you finds the time to do so but I certainly don't have it. Yep. I have trouble enough as it is judging consensus based on mailing list data. Adding more sources of data can make my work as working group chair close to impossible. +1!
IRC has its uses, but for anything coming even close to be used for official use, it's useless ... I wouldn't want to set up a server/client to stay constantly connected, logging 99% junk just to keep up with anything that MAY come up that's important ... could you imagine the turmoil around 2015-1 if IRC had been used for part of the official discussion? -garry
