Maybe it’s just that I’m an IRC/IM junkie, but I wanted to inquire about
it
anyway. First, there is a channel on Freenode (irc.freenode.net) called #radiantcms. Second, although it’s preserved by ChanServ, I’m usually
the
only one in it except someone by the nick of “o”, and he/she doesn’t
respond
much. So what I’m asking of you all is, “can we use it more?” Many of
the
discussions that happen in the mailing list could alternatively or
additionally take place in IRC. As RadiantCMS gets more users, we’ll
see
even more basic questions about how to set it up and use it. While I
have
hopes that it will never become like #rubyonrails, it could help out the
beginners (and us more experienced ones who want to discuss advanced
topics!).
The advantage of email is that more people can have input on what’s
happening in Radiant. I am working most of the day and I would feel I
am missing out on stuff unless I had some time to actually get on a
computer. Another nice thing about a mailing list is the fact that
everything is “recorded.” I can search google groups and find problems
and solutions for topics on Radiant. That’s cool. But I see you
concern. Email imposes a certain restriction on having a good
“conversation.”
Maybe other folks out there have some good idea what might be an
acceptable solution.
Having trouble installing or using RadiantCMS? Want to share a success
story? You can chat with members of the user and developer community in
real time in the @#radiantcms@ channel on @irc.freenode.net@. You’ll
need an IRC(Internet Relay Chat) Client, but “here’s a list of
them”:http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/IRC from the Ruby on Rails
wiki.
