XAP developers hold bi-weekly IRC chat on irc.freenode.net - channel #xap. This is held on Thursday of the 2nd and 4th week every month at 17:00PM GMT (1PM ET, 10AM PT) for one hour. The next one is on June 29th.
I'm concerned that an incubating project is using an exclusionary communication channel such as IRC right from the get-go. People who are in the "wrong" time zone, or people who don't have access to IRC or are simply unavailable at the "right" time, will be excluded from the discussion. While I saw that the "minutes" of the last meeting were posted to the dev list, I also saw, in those minutes, that the decision to have biweekly IRC chats was itself made on IRC... And IRC transcripts such as the one that was posted are very hard to read, making it much more difficult for those not participating at the time to get the gist of what actually happened. IMHO, all of the discussions, especially this early on, should be happening on the mailing lists, to encourage more people to participate, and thus help grow the community. -- Martin Cooper Please send comments/questions/issues etc to
