    Hi there<br>
    I'll try to answer your questions in order:<br>
    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.<br>
    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.<br>
    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.<br>
    <br>
    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.<br>

      <div>Hi, so with this new tool, will we still be able to
        read/listen to old messages. The great thing about a mailing
        list is that people can look at it in their own time. I think
        keeping a live channel open would probably just result in
        getting no work done. I don't really know what it's all about. I
        do like the idea of a live chat experience, but it would be a
        shame if you couldn't hear it back after the time. Also, there
        are only a few of us on this mailing list, so how do we stop
        ourselves from missing each other like ships in the night?<br>
