I first got my feet wet in Evergreen IRC using the
http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=evergreen web gateway.

One issue I've noticed with non-tech's getting into IRC is the barrier
of software install/configure/use, not so much the chatting part.
Would a web-browser accessible chat solution help those non-techs? I
am more than willing to host/point a qwebirc instance to #evergreen -
non-tech's would just visit something like:

Just an FYI about IRC, there are plenty of people who don't participate in
the community meetings because it is on IRC too. Not that I'm lobbying at
this time to change the format (as I've already addressed) but I think IRC
is a big leap for many people (despite how incredibly easy and
straight-forward it seems to all you developers out there!) Every group is
going to have a different level of comfort with different communciation
methods.
It is true that a WebEx style meeting might reach the broadest range of
community members. Maybe Skype or Google HangOut too.

I question how those who can't participate via IRC (assuming that is a
goal here) and those who can't participate via the conference call will
interact with each other.
Not that I am sure I would be attending either way, but I am much more
likely to participate in IRC than on a conference call.

Any objections to having this meeting on conference call in parallel to
the IRC?
I don't like the idea, but I don't necessarily object. Worth trying
new things and learning from the results. :)
