If you read my post "hmm...ideas for everyone," you know one of the things I was planning was to set up an IRC server for plug development. This is starting with one major channel, but will expand. I also welcome you to use the server to host channels for your specific projects.
Thanks to Gwydion for hosting this.
If you do not have an IRC client, I suggest AthenaIRC ( (url="http://"http://athena.paladinmacs.com")http://athena.paladinmacs.com(/url) ).

server: evdev.ath.cx
port: 6667
channel: #evdev is the main one, others can be created at will.

FYI, evilhector is a bot run by me.

#ev3 on irc.ambrosia.net
http://athena.paladinmacs.com

I would just like to add that that is completely unofficial. The official server is irc.ambrosia.net, channel #evdev and has been for months.

obviously. But 1. no one except me, akula, and gwydion went there, and 2. we can't just take over andrews server with a hundred channels of plug developers.

1. I think you're missing the point. #evdev is for all developers, of all plugs, everyone can use it.

2. If only those people went to that channel, what makes you think if you magically post hundreds of plug developers will create dozens of channels for making plugs, having you run them all and create an empire where everyone can worship your acomplishments?

3. Gah, the logic of your post made my brain fart.

4. Blackhole is right, usually is.

1. shut up, C_S
2. It's a service, ok? be greatful. I am not saying don't go to #evdev on ASWnet, I'm just trying to create a place that is completely devoted to development. ASWnet is not.

I think a whole server devoted to developing will take quite a while for people to actually go their. And I don't see how you need more than one channel (yes i know some may want their own for your plug, but that is pointless), and if you do, i doubt it will be hundreds. It is a really good idea, but i think it would be better waiting until there are more people in #evdev. I think you would be better off promoting that first.

like moths into a blowtorch

I think a server run by developers for developers is good because everyone there would be more or less a developer and they could provide help to everyone who's there.

1. This will most likely be publicised a lot more than #evdev on irc.ambrosia.net -- see item two.
2. #evdev on irc.ambrosia.net was barely known about by the regulars of irc.ambrosia.net -- at least, that was the impression I got.
3. The server was down for a few hours today -- I want to stress that this is -NOT- my fault; I came home from school today only to find my server shut off.
4. I really just needed an excuse to continue running my IRC server.
5. C_S - Cool, do you have a digital camera or scanner? Can you try to get a picture of your brain farting? I'd really like to see that!

ahem Be quite you all or there will be karma slaps all round. And another reminder to everyone, #evdev on irc.ambrosia.net is official, their server is not.

Simply put, I have little tolerance for new additions that are unecessary.

As developers, I merely think it would be in everyone's best interest to try to get everyone to go in one place, rather than splitting up groups.

Of course, this is all moot anyways, no one uses irc

Oh, and I seem to see a lot of insults going around here. Read the sig.

Subject closed, I'll leave the topic open for now...
