Hi, as Gry in #wikipedia recently mentioned, there is no IRC channel for general wikimedia developer purposes - project wide and language wide.
There are subchannels for certain projects, but no general channel for wikimedia devs of all kinds from all projects. I suppose we could use #wikimedia-dev as a general channel for all developers no matter of project or programming language. What do you think? Bellow is a message written by Gry who doesn't want to be part of this mailing list ------- from gry@irc://irc.freenode.net/#wikipedia --------- Hi, Could we make an IRC channel dedicated to development of software for wikimedia projects (bots, js tools like twinkle, irc bots, etc)? Some people who work on some software for few wikimedia projects would likely benefit if they had a place to discuss its implementation, other than just ask #wikipedia (the largest channel of all). As the questions may get more tricky at times, a smaller, more development-minded channel could be a tad more effective at actually helping (regardless of what project they're from, be that wikipedia or wikibooks or something else). There currently is #wikimedia-dev which actually is a place for #mediawiki devs to meet, but they're not too happy with two channels either [1] and it could be possible to discuss a take over. Or otherwise a new channel named, say, #wikimedia-devel.
