Hi Jason,
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.
Your initiative is appreciated. I just tryed to explain why contribs.org has not claimed it (anymore).
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.
Maybe there are people out there who want to get in touch with 'fellow' contributers/developers. I hang around freenode's channels too, and benefited from immediate help many times ;-)
#e-smith didn't make it to the 'broad public' but it's still there.
But like I said if people believe this to be a distraction I will let it lapse.
I wouldn't do that if I was you. Maybe your annonuncement draw enough attention to get some 'life' on this channel. Personally I would be interested to see what happens. There's 1 catch I guess, you have to be ops for a while or 'auto ops' the chan.
Thinking out loud here ;)
Regards, Hsing-Foo
