Self appointed leaders? Um I am temporarily just filling an empty void. Why don't you step up and do something rather than come against those doing it all, for what benefit or gain? Though last time there was any official meeting on leadership. I clearly stated I wanted none, and end of that meeting I was assigned to be treasurer. No one else was assigned to be anything and that was years ago.... > IRC is great for collaborative work, but not "community building", which > is more about creating buzz, announcing events and meetups with as much > reach as possible, informal (dare I say asynchronous) discussions, group > identity, relatively static pieces like blogs and such, etc. IRC is a tool, its used for communities to chat with each other in real time. Amongst many other things, but mostly for community interaction. Thus channels, and being in them. Otherwise you can just log into an IRC network, as you do any IM network, Yahoo, AIM, GTalk, Skype, etc. Chat is chat, nothing more nothing less. -- William L.
