Re: [Cppcms-users] IRC Chat ??

Hello CppCMS Users,


There are several problems with IRC Chat...

1. Users located in different time zones all over the
   world from the West and USA to East China,

   So it would be not always easy.

2. When you write an e-mail you usually make your statements
   and problem description much clear, bring some output samples
   maybe some logs.

   Same for the answers, they are usually deeper and wider.


   This does not happen in the chat.

3. There are much more people who can view an e-mail,
   and answer it rather then people who on-line in
   chat rooms. It can be done off line even with
   slightly bigger delay.


4. The mailing list is recorded at:

   http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.cppcms.user

   Which makes it easier to search for the questions
   and answers, it is also monitored by google making
   it easier to solve the problems.

In any case if somebody whats to open an IRC channel 

he is welcome however I think mailing list is better
because it allows more people to be in the
have same conversation and even just learn by
reading even without asking.


So I just think that e-mail list is better for community
communication is just more productive
while "almost" real time reply actually work well with
e-mails as well.


In any case if there are frequently asked question, they
should be in wiki :-)
