The IRC as realtime has it's limitations for worldwide usage. It has to be split in regional branches in order to be useful for people that are at work, sleep etc. Second, the people that don't type fast can be only observers. I don't see why email is not good for topics that are discussed on meetings. There is seldom something urgent that has to be solved in real time like it is with installation and configuration issues, where IRC is in obvious advantage. The only problem is that people should be aware that some thread is dedicated to discuss issues that deserve broad presence, and it is not meant for chatter, but serious dicussion. Is there anything else that makes IRC better medium for such topics. -- Regards, Rajko. http://en.opensuse.org/MiniSUSE http://en.opensuse.org/Portal --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
