Re: IRC Channel

The problem with IRC is that only a small subset of the user-base uses
it in the first place. And we need the place to be populated most of
the time so it doesn't feel so useless. I use irc once in a while when
I got some question about programming, ubuntu, or those few times I
feel like playing "magic the gathering". The mailing list seems to get
more faster replies.

I'm not sure I went to the right place but the channel you made was
empty. irc.darkmyst.org #diybio
