[Rwp] IRC channel for RWP is up, feel free to join

Fri Jan 29 07:47:31 EST 2016

Hi there
I'll try to answer your questions in order:
1. Hearing back messages: It will be doable with irc chat, It's called 
logging; Although IT's a hastle to set this up but there are websites 
which will let you to search a channel's logs.
2. Chatting vs mailinglists: You've pointed out a good advantage of 
MailingLIsts over IRC, You can read things later but live chat is live 
chat. To be honest, I think that they are a different experience. For 
example, We could get onto RWP IRC chatroom and text about things for an 
entire night live., Or help someone or have assistance during a DAW  
operation.
3. Finding people on irc  chat:  IRC is an Idle Chat it means that some 
of its users are there for a very long time, And some others will use 
scripts to be there and have them alerted when someone call their name. 
So basically, You could either wait till you get your chat going, or 
get  your conversation setup on irc with mails, So you can get the 
timing right.

OverAll, IRC chat will not replace MailingList for us, But It's a very 
great way to collaborate; assist and get assistance and exchange quick 
ideas. You could also write as much as you want without spamming anyone.
