I think you will find, that one does have to pay to join IRC, from Europe at least. Giano On Mon, Nov 23, 2009 at 8:46 AM, FastLizard4 <fastlizard4(a)gmail.com> wrote:

If there is going to be an IRC meeting concerning Wikipedia, are the logs of it going to onto the mailing list and to be published on Wikipedia? If not - why not? Giano On Mon, Nov 23, 2009 at 9:19 AM, geni <geniice(a)gmail.com> wrote:

It's common and accepted for discussions to be held on IRC, since text chat is a better medium for real-time discussion and coordination than wiki. The WMF has all sorts of IRC meetings, from office hours to board meetings. There's no sense in requiring all Wikimedia-related discussions to occur on a talkpage somewhere. Nathan

Giano, You can install Chatzilla for Firefox as an add-on for free ( https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/16), alternatively you can use any of the other free software clients listed at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:IRC_tutorial. You can connect from within a web page, though I have found Chatzilla as a standalone program best personally. Freenode, the hosting service, is as it indicates, free, and functions through donations. Hope this helps.

If your ISP was charging to use IRC then they were ripping people off and anyway you can get on IRC using the Java interface if you have web access. As a member of the BLP Task Force I'd be delighted to receive suggestions in any way. Having an IRC meeting is just one way in which to discuss issues but it's helpful to have a real time chat. (What's not helpful is having one at 2 AM; no-one's going to be able to make every time suggested but perhaps we could have another in European daytime) -- Sam Blacketer

Always paranoia, when you can't provide a satisfactory answer or explanation. If I am paranoid, let me tell you that you are quite pathetic. Having to have secret little chats because you can't have it all your own way on wikipedia. Who the hell are you anyway?

Yeah, I am going to ignore that.  I spammed the meeting on a public mailing list and public channels about a meeting for the public.  I am  growing a tad weary of my efforts to get en.wiki involved in the idea process and then being accused cabalism.  But that's just Wikipedia as usual :) -- Sent from my Palm Pre Sam Blacketer wrote: On Mon, Nov 23, 2009 at 3:56 PM, Giacomo M-Z <solebaciato(a)googlemail.com>wrotem>wrote: It's not secret.
