It's usually a lot more productive from my experience because you interact directly, not with a delay.
This property is good for real time support and it can obstruction for good decisions. More I look into, it is few other things making IRC more efficient. 1) Writing off-topic on IRC means, moderator is going to kick you out.
50% are off-topic, 40% are support questions, and maybe 10% on topic
2) Discussion has agenda, free thoughts are at the end.
Any topic that proposes interesting thoughts and sharing opinions about the project, its initiatives and its future just drown in here...
3) No lengthy quotes, all is on the screen. We don't need quotes too, it is artifact from usenet. If message didn't arrived, there is archive. 4) No verbosity, because you won't be able to catch up. 5) No signatures to blur the essence. So if we can declare the rules that make IRC good as wanted, we would be able to discuss serious things, without time zone constrains. We can do it, but we need serious support from Core team. -- Regards, Rajko. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
