Hi all,
At present, there's only one Cinelerra-related channel on IRC, which is
serving multiple purposes as development discussion, help and general
chat.
As Cobra has expressed, there's a conflict between these purposes, with
developers logging #cinelerra and using that to keep up to date with
development issues, while others (including myself, guilty as charged)
have also been using it for general interactions within the Cinelerra
community.
I apologise if I've been 'spamming' #cinelerra with subject matter which
is not 100% specifically on-topic for Cinelerra.
I can see two options for meeting all the needs:
1. have #cinelerra as the 'formal' channel for Cinelerra development
and help, and a separate #cinelerra-chat channel, mentioned in the
#cinelerra channel topic, or
2. allow general chat in #cinelerra, with a separate formal channel
such as #cinelerra-dev for the more development-related discussions,
and mention #cinelerra-dev in the #cinelerra chan topic
Either way, it would meet the dual purposes - having a formal
development-related channel, with relevant matter on the logs, not
spammed by chat - and a separate place for cin users/devs to interact
less formally in real time.
Either option would work, as long as the #cinelerra topic mentions the
other channel.
Personally, I feel it's a healthy thing for the Cinelerra community to
have an announced, active informal realtime discussion channel.
Thoughts?
Cheers
David
