and there is no need for it either. as stated elsewhere much of what is |
5 |
going on on IRC is 'goofing off' - for which IRC is excellent. (heck - i |

i dont mind the day-to-day work stuff going on on IRC exclusively - but |
9 |
when discussions about the future directions of a project and the decision |
10 |
making process are held on IRC exclusively, then that is not helpful in |
11 |
attracting new blood. for one because there is no history but also because |
12 |
they may not use IRC that much. |
