Would anyone like a developer's IRC channel?
-
Yea, I'm with Rich here. With IRC (or any other text based medium) once choose when/if to reply. With voice you need to keep a conversation going constantly.
-
Rich - when the channel is registered - is it possible to set up a bot that upload chat logs to a website?
-
very good points Rich... especially logging...
-
Mmmmm, and interesting possibility. I will have a chat with Tavi (TBD) and Coen about it and see what we could do here on SCF to introduce such a facility for members.
-
I recommend pidgin for a IM client - it supports all major services (and irc.)
Pidgin
Pidgin is a universal chat client, allowing you to consolidate all your different messaging apps into a single tool.

The IRC channel has been up for a few days now, but we've had very little traffic. Meanwhile, we've had 140+ views of this topic, so it's clear that some folks think the idea might have merit.
I think this is a "chicken and egg" situation: if everyone waits for the channel to catch on, it never will. So, if you're interested in having this resource available, please sign on for a few days, looking in from time to time.
-
I've already forgotten. I need to get into the habit. I'll try to make a link to login and put it on my desktop or something so I rememeber to be in there more often. -
Well, nice idea ! And if, somehow this would be made public on other environments, other than SCF, maybe it would attract more interested people.
I logged-in today, but it was empty

I've been on the channel for several days now; I just leave a session going. I may not be actively watching it all the time, but I'll certainly get back to anyone whose message I see.
FYI, I also posted a note to sketchupruby@googlegroups.com; since we only want SketchUp developers, I'm not sure where else would be appropriate...

Well... more NEW Sketchup developers?
... the kind who didn't knew that they are Sketchup Developers until they hear about this ?
