As someone that wants to get involved, the second option (as I already suggested) would be the best, for the sole reason not to alienate the community. The logic is, there is #ubuntu/#ubuntu-devel so #ubuntu-server/#ubuntu-server-devel (or dev to fit in with package naming conventions ;)) seems logical. I'd also say that another reason is (and this carries on from Thierry's other statement, if there is someone having an "oh my, my stuff is really broken and I want it fixed ASAP" moment, and I don't know about <stuff> , it's far less rude and distracting for all parties, if I continue on with a potentially highly detailed technical conversation with another person in different channel. - Nigel -- ubuntu-server mailing list ubuntu-server@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
