Well, there isn't as far as I know. I'm not even sure if there is a
"preferred IRC network" for Apache projects. But I don't mind joining
such a channel (say #felix at freenode).
The projects that have a channel usually use irc.freenode.net,
although there's no official recommendation for this. Also, it is
important to keep the main discussions on the mailing-list so that it
is archived and people from all around the world can participate,
whatever their timezone.
Agreed, every medium should be used appropriately and at least
duplicating important issues to the mailing list seems reasonable (I
don't think confluence or any other wiki has the ability to log IRC
channels yet).
So IRC is useful for babbling and short questions, or occasional high
bandwidth discussions, but any important outcome of these discussions
must be reported to the list.
Ok. Let's see how this goes.
Greetings, Marcel
