The problem with IRC is we are all over the world, and time zones,
and when most people are on IRC, others are working. Not everyone
can have access to IRC from work. In fact, that is frowned upon.
If you read the logs, most decisions go there, then a few (if any)
get to be put on the mailing list. This is why logs are a good
thing, not something to be paranoid about.

What uses SDL_net2?

Our coder used sdl_net and sdl_net2 for a multiplayer test but he
mentioned that it was very unstable :(" On gamedev.
So if it isn't stable, then it don't really make sense to use it
does it?
I also saw mention of this in some very old logs:
http://www.opentnl.org/
That says "TNL is available under the GNU General Public License
(GPL), an indie license, and a commercial license."
Worls in mac,windows, and linux, so this might well be better than
SDL_net2. There wasn't much problems with the Tribes network code,
I think it can handle 64 player games easy?
