Hi guys, in the past we had quite an active community in IRC. This worked well. Most development discussions were public and could be followed by interested users. Unfortunately, service likes gtalk or jabber have made communication much more difficult. I often need to copy and paste text because person A asks a question in channel X which I forward to person B in channel Y and copy the answer back to A. This is annoying and doesn't help to build up a community. At the same time, people visiting the irc channel get the impression that the project is inactive. We should thus either close down the channel - or reanimate it. I would thus like to encourage all developers to drop gtalk communications and again use the IRC channel if you want to discuss or ask something which is not of a strictly private nature. Wolfgang |

Yes, I agree to stick to the irc for non-privacy needing issues. |

Dannes & other Mac OS X folks, > In Adium (beta only?) i am able to connect to IRC as well. So.. count me in I haven't used Adium's IRC support - I guess it's beta only at this point. But the IRC client I have used on OS X is Colloquy - http://colloquy.info/. They have an iPhone app too ($1.99). Wolfgang - I'm unable to use IRC at work, so you won't see me on IRC often. But I mostly use the mailing list anyway, which I assume is still an equally preferred means of communicating? Joe |

Absolutely. The mailing list is the preferred communication medium and should be used for all serious discussions. But it's certainly nice to have a quick chat now and then or ask a quick question to a particular person. IRC is ideal for this. It is quick, but if you miss anything, you can read it up in the transcript. Wolfgang |

Wolfgang, What about if we have a simple IRC client as part of the build, similar to the Twitter client. Then everybody who opens his local eXist page at http:/localhost/8080/exist/index.xml <http://0.0.31.144/exist/index.xml> will be able to read and post to the eXist channel. I guess there are some simple JAVA implementation of IRC clients available that can be added as a eXist module.

I guess there are some simple JAVA implementation of IRC clients available that can be added as a eXist module. actually we have this already in place, linked on the front page: quote: The project has an chat box #existdb which is accessible via IRC on irc.freenode.net and via an AJAX based web interface. The channel is open for general discussions on eXist and related subjects (transcript).

Dannes, What I meant was to have an embedded chat into the front page so the chat activity is displayed while the users browse the local page without leaving the eXist local page, say right bellow the Twitter panel. Looking at the live chat does create a sense of community.
