Correct -- most people don't use IRC -- but you can install a Mibbit web-IRC gateway applet on the Chrome support site, similar to what Mozilla has done on their site. That will allow more non-geeks to use IRC. Also, we can publicly log the channel, to make the archives searchable; also, we can require that people search the forum archives before asking questions in #chrome. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Chromium Developers mailing list: chromium-dev@googlegroups.com View archives, change email options, or unsubscribe: http://groups.google.com/group/chromium-dev -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
