Re: Removing IRC channel mentions from official website documentation
> On what URLs you saw the IRC channel? So, IRC mentions I found in maven-site: * ./content/fml/about.fml (https://maven.apache.org/about.html) https://github.com/apache/maven-site/blob/master/content/fml/about.fml#L99 * ./content/markdown/community.md (https://maven.apache.org/community.html) https://github.com/apache/maven-site/blame/master/content/markdown/community.md#L88 * ./content/xdoc/index.xml.vm (https://maven.apache.org) https://github.com/apache/maven-site/blob/master/content/xdoc/index.xml.vm#L118 I can prepare a PR for this change, I will remove the existing mentions of the IRC channel and maybe will come up with a good sentence for joining Slack chat for committers :) Thanks, Dawid Pura śr., 8 wrz 2021 o 23:17 Enno Thieleke napisał(a): > As one of the new guys, I can confirm that IRC is misleading and > confusing.

Re: Removing IRC channel mentions from official website documentation
As one of the new guys, I can confirm that IRC is misleading and confusing. I totally missed any topic regarding the "we moved to slack" part. Could've been a bad IRC client, could've been me, not sure. I agree with Bernd: New people would very much like to find slack information on the website, even though access is restricted. And yes, mentioning who gets access and how would help a great deal, I think, albeit just for clarification.

Not sure about the slack since I don’t use it, but the website is not only for the public, it’s also the primary source for committers (but if we add the slack we certainly need to mention who gets access and how) On what URLs you saw the irc channel?

Removing IRC channel mentions from official website documentation
Hello all, I have noticed it's misleading for new contributors to find out the proper communication channel for this project. The documentation says there is an IRC channel which topic says "we moved to Slack". Then, it takes some time to figure out a newcomer cannot get in, since she has to be invited by actual commiters. I think I can remove any mention of IRC channel from maven-site, as this has been deprecated comms channel, right? I am asking the more subtle question, should the Slack channel be mentioned instead, or there is no reason to mention it in public docs as it's not reachable by the public. this is my very first e-mail on this mailing list and mailing lists in Apache in general, so please share any feedback that comes to your mind :). All the best, Dawid Pura
