As someone who's regularly behind an unfriendly proxy, I have to agree.

Aagghhhhh!!! Why is everything always done over IRC????
The neglection of the reactos mailing lists is one of this _/big/_
things this project does wrong.
- It forces the community into a sort of hidden niche group and
alienates people who don’t use IRC
- It gives the impression that reactos activity is low. There are
thousands of people who follow this project aren’t on IRC and have no
idea of what is going on.
- It arguably deters new people from joining because they can’t really
get to grips with the project without becoming a slave to IRC
- It means important discussions are missed, even by the core team, if
they aren’t watching the IRC chat 24/7 or miss a PM
I could go on and on with reasons of why you neglect the mailing lists
is so harmful, but I fear no one will listen to my cries.
Maybe I should vent my frustration in IRC for the niche community, and
we can all have an internal discussion about it???

Yes, please feel free to join our channel when you have any questions.
I will create a branch for your coming work, if you like.
Thanks!

Hiya
Discussing issues on ros-dev maillist is fine. I asked Aleksiej to
pass you the irc channel discussion mostly for helping you out with
basic ROS stuff like compilation, VM setup and testing issues.

Hi,
I see you're busy discussing other stuff and my message went unnoticed
:) I made a look to existing network branches, found many of them.
LWIP is interesting. Alexey said the best way is to join your irc
channel. I will try to occasionally join, but in your project, mailing
list must be a primary point of discussion not irc channel.
I think I start from making a simple, but robust tcpip driver (with
help of numerously available source code of tcp/ip protocol
implementations). Hopefully you could give me branch access, it's
gonna be hard to develop it with patches.

P.S. I really like your "kernel coding style", quite rare to see that
in opensource projects. Most of foss projects utilize linux-alike
stlye, whic is harder to read and not that clean.
