get a grip people, I'm not talking about an e-learning center..I'm talking about adding some value to club members by putting one of their guys on an IRC server or whatever and allowing access to the clubmembers for an hour or two a day.. not that expensive to setup... stuff like that.. ."talk daily with a mandrake programmer" sheesh.. I wasn't suggesting they rethink their business.. but there are alot of potential club members who are on the verge of signing up.. and something like that would tip the scales in mdk's favour... Think about it, don't you think it would be cool to have a real person at mandrake to voice off at or ask for help...?? from what I have seen/heard, mandrake leaves alot to be desired when it comes to newbies asking for help.. rgds Frank
In my search for knowledge and some tidbits & support I found and IRC channel as you describe. I know at least one MDK employee hangs out there. The problem? They are not very newbie friendly & far too ready to kick ban ppl for "Stupid questions". I left when one of the ops got really pissy & anal retentive. He muted the channel & de-voiced everyone who was in it b/c ppl like me were asking too many dumb questions. The channel? #MDK-Newbie or something similar. It was made strictly for MDK newbs to come & ask for support/questions.
