I suppose this is getting way OT for hackers, so this will be my last post to this thread. Thanks PHK for pointing to the xearth port, I will take a look at it. For myself the ability to find other users to collaborate or socialize in person would be the goal. I am reluctant to "bother" a committer with chat type things, but again an opt-in type database would then say to the FreeBSD community at large that he/she does not mind a friendly email, offering an invitation to further get to know each other, and possibly could spawn a new user group, or business opportunity, or even just a good pub crawl. Subscribing to chat or ICQ are both methods to this same goal, but having many tools and ways to get the same "job" done is one of the things that IMHO makes the *NIX community so interesting.
