Agreed. And I am a bit suprised that a web forum is being persued
instead of a usenet forum which would be accessable by both newsreader
and google, and archived by google as well. Personally, I would not use
a web forum.  I find web forum UI's are mostly idiotic and do not have
the patience to wait for the web, slow updates and viewing one message
at a time.  But if the IRC is going to be pushed, we might as well push
it by network rather than server, if the server is on a network.

I am bit surprised that a real-time community (IRC) option is being
persued instead of web forums which allow for differing schedules (time
zones) and IRC-unfriendly firewalls.

Instead of telling people to join a server in particular, it might be

helpful to tell people which IRC Network to join. Net splits aside, if

you log into an efnet server you should be good to go.
