just wondering if there is a euphoria irc channel somewhere...
if there is... what net is it on??
if there isn't... why not?? it'd cut down on listserv traffic most
likely and allow ppl to get instant feedback...
just a thought :>

Hi,
I think it would be a great idea and I even have a suggestion for
the network...DalNet ([irc.dal.net] on port 6667). DalNet had NickSERV and
ChanSERV, eliminating takeovers...
It would cut down traffic on listserv and I would welcome that(i'm getting
around 10 messages a day)
However, there is a downside to an IRC channel...Unless there is atleast one
person there 24hrs a day instant feedback would be impossible.
But still the thought is good.
Regards,
ViC

we should schedule some time for us to all go there for a discussion,
maybe one day a week, we can meet and exchange ideas or just chew the
fat...

Instead of a IRC channel, which I don't think we have enough people to
really utilize well, what about a newsgroup? There are a couple available
that aren't used very much and I think Euphoria would fit into the
realm of what they cover such as alt.lang.misc if you don't think we
would have enough support to get alt.lang.euphoria up and running.

Some people only have e-mail accounts. What is wrong with
using the mailing list as it is?

I agree. This is a GREAT resource! Let's not fix something that isn't
broken.
7. Re: irc channel
I think the initial topic of an IRC channel was brought up because
someone (sorry, I deleted the message so I don't know who it was)
was concerned about the amount of mail being generated here. I
personally prefer newsgroups because I don't get an annoying "ding"
whenever somebody posts a message to a newsgroup like I do with
email. Realistically, the amount of mail I get from the Euphoria
list server is just a drop in the bucket compared to other lists
I'm on so I don't think it's much of a problem (for me). I do
still like the idea of a newsgroup possibly in addition to the
mailing list. An IRC wouldn't be bad either if we did it at
set times for group-type discussions but having one open all the
time would just mean that 90% of the time when you tried to get
a response, you wouldn't.
I don't know if this list server has a digest option or not but
many do so that you can request a digest to be delivered once a
day or once a week instead of all the individual messages. If
somebody'd rather get the mail in bursts instead of one message at
a time, they may want to look into this. I don't want to imply
that the list should be cancelled or anything like that because I
think it's a great resource. I'm very new to Euphoria and haven't
don't anything worth posting yet nor am I able to answer questions
outside the scope of general programming (not specific to Euphoria)
however, if we started using a newsgroup for some of these discussions,
it would make more people aware of Euphoria and spread the user
base.

I think a newsgroup would be a nice additional resource, but not a
replacement for the listserver. I find it extremely handy.

.... I agree with Michael. Adding a newsgroup might also increase
Euphoria's exposure.
