 | | Need for chat server? —Ross Carlson
|
| | | Hi all, I was just curious if there is any interest in having an IRC chat server for this mailing list. I manage a chat server for a major gaming company, so I have the experience in installing, maintaining, and securing a chat server. I can provide (...) (23 years ago, 10-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)

|

This assumes, of course, that there is someone on-line with the answer (...) (23 years ago, 12-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)

I have a feeling most of what would go on would be "chatter" [which is OK]. You are right, that any useful content that appears in a chat (...) (23 years ago, 12-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)

| | | | | | Hi Matthias, This is an excellent point you make. I agree that the nature of IRC doesn't lend itself to directly contributing to the knowledge base of Lugnet. However I also feel that many problem-brainstormin...g-solution cycles, and the knowledge (...) (23 years ago, 12-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)

| | | | | I'd use it. I'm always in some irc-net whenever I'm online, so, this would be just another hangging place for me :) This brings up another question: Are there any Lego Robotics IRC channels already on existing IRCnets ? Which ones ? Marco C. aka (...) (23 years ago, 11-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)

| | | | | Ya, that's precisely why I'm offering to maintain an IRC server. I think it would be great to be able to hop onto a chat server and brainstorm a new robotics idea, or get some help with troubleshooting something in real time. I'll wait until I see a (...)

IRC could bring people closer together on talking about this hobby, and offering fast and realtime answers and discussions. (...) (23 years ago, 13-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)
