Anyone that comes to openSUSE will more likely stay and become contributor if first contact is with human, not a web page. That is also a reason that IRC should be more often populated by skilled openSUSE users, not only their IRC logger bots.
This is a VERY good point. Even as a 'returning' occasional contributor I've found it quite frustrating, when I want to 'touch base' with the community again, log in to IRC and there are a lot of names on the list but nobody says hello. It's very weird, like being in a ghost town or a room full of store mannikins. It is really not a pleasant experience. I suspect that like the mailing lists, fewer, properly attended IRC channels would be better.
