I created a new IRC channel on freenode for real-time discussions between RCom members and
the community and to coordinate work within RCom without the need of skype.
You'll find me idling there during office hours (9.30am-6pm Pacific time) and
occasionally later at night.

If you wish to join but are not familiar with IRC, check out this page for instructions:

Once we have a decent number of people regularly idling in this channel we can advertise
it on the lists to provide quasi-rt support to external researchers.
