RE: Ispcp irc server. - greg - 07-06-2007 05:56 AM
My opinion is that an irc channel on a server like freenode can be useful.
I agree that is very difficult for the dev team to be present all the time. The forum and the online documentation must be the main source of information (I also think that language's corner are a bad idea... Lot of post in the german one that I can't understand... I'm a french guy but I think it's more useful to post in english for everybody). But the channel could be a place to have a discussion more interactive to solve a problem, to ask some specific questions...
For example, after a post on the forum, we could meet on the channel to discuss the problems and the solutions, like the dev team can do with skype. After that, we have to post the result on the forum's thread.
So why not, I'm agree to use it on occasion, when I want to contribute to this project.

I said it before, keep the information together at one place !!
We got an open FAQ, why not contribute to that with all your solutions !
We have an option for making HowTo's, why not use that too!
It's an free world, you can make all your chats and channel, but don't exspect that the dev-team will use it, as all are working people with very buzy jobs, doing a lot on the codes allready.
Also I'm sure that not all solutions will reach the Forum, FAQ or HowTo's, due to the fact that a lot of the users are happy with the problems solved for them self and don't care if anybody else get the info, just look thru the forum, how often you see, I got it solved, thanks alot. But no explenation at all about HOW it was solved, also many of the users thinks with their Neard-brain, not giving a full descriptions of Where, What and How. and that is confusing the not so old users.
So my opinion are, You can all do better with cleaning up the act at the forum also making the search options better then.

JEay, but i'm a newbie in the codes with ispcp. I don't know if the things i change can harm other settings, or jusg only work on my install. I don't wan't place a howto that is not totally correct. Then a chat is usefull to discuss it before i post it. And i think more people have this.

A chat doen't solve this problem. I'd rather put some work on a good documentation/FAQ[...].
[..]that FAQ is a good start but it's to static[...]
I fully agree with that! A normal FAQ is to static, but we have the WIKI.
I think it would be the best to form a habit of making a page in the wiki if a (general) problem is solved. It costs only a few minutes to make a wiki-page out of a problem in the forum but it saves a lot of time when somone other has the same problem. And secondary it generates a great handbook on one place for everyone who is new to isp-control and want to read compressed informations.
It is possible to make a chat channel, but that is better for specific solutions and not for general problems. So I think we can wait a while and if there are to much topics like "nothing works" we have stil the possibility to open a chat-channel.

oh cmon... be reasonable , use freenode.net as all other nice projects do. A lot more programmers and sysadmins use it.

*bump* I'm lonely on IRC!
Also, could we get SVN commit and Forum post information propagated to IRC?

[15:19] * sci2tech (~sci2tech@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) has joined #ispcp
