To clarify, my only intention with creating the channel was to have a place to casually chat with other users of the E-Smith/SME distro. If it is wanted I can just let the channel lapse. I do think however that having a place of immediate contact with a community of users though a IRC channel can be a positive. The php chat was rather "clunky feeling" to me and since I am always on freenode I thought it would nice to have a channel going. But like I said if people believe this to be a distraction I will let it lapse.
