I'm agreed to you very much, I also think open source community need more people to do something spontaneously. > (Sad that IRC is no longer the first chat protocol to be mentioned...) Unfortunately, that may be the case. More and more Web Programmers and Software Developer don't to use IRC, maybe they don't even know what it is.I don't know if it is only happend in China. Like @zulu said,we use Wechat or Tencent QQ totally. Of course, many chinese programmers still like irc who like trying some new things(eg: new OS or new language),they often use linux.
