21 I think you are right. #gentoo-bugs would be perfect for this. However, I
22 don't find it in the list below, which is taken from www.g.o.
23
24 #gentoo General Discussion
25 #gentoo-dev Development Only Discussion
26 #gentoo-user Low-bandwidth chat
27 #gentoo-server Server related chat
28 #gentoo-laptop Laptop related chat
29 #gentoo-embedded Embedded Gentoo Linux
30 #gentoo-hardened Hardened Gentoo Linux
31 #gentoo-java Java related chat
32 #gentoo-games Game Discussions/Support
33 #gentoo-cluster Gentoo Linux/Clustering
34
35 When i first came to IRC, I joined #gentoo. I had a look at #gentoo-user, but
36 it's not in use. It may as well be dropped as "low-bandwidth" is too generous
37 a description. I did sit in #gentoo-bugs for a little while (don't know how I
38 found out about it) but it seemed to be just a place for people to listen out
39 for bug-wranglers.

41 Anyway.. if #gentoo-bugs was used as a user development channel, it would give
42 the initiative-endowed users a chance to see the bulk of a
43 distribution's/developer's workload. Perhaps #gentoo-bugs should just be
44 added to the above list. Any other people support this?
