Late comer to this discussion - and one from a user standpoint - when we have had "meetings" for other things KOHA I have received several emails asking WHY we are not using IRC as it is the main meeting space for all things Koha. Those concerns were raised mainly by developers. I find it somewhat ironic then to have this discussion come up. I prefer the single IRC only because it makes it much easier to read a days activity of Koha and also I believe to search for things that may have already been discussed to find answers. If nothing else Koha IRC is a large meeting room and if you need to PM people to help them and make connections with people that is great. I believe we see the same thing already happening with Koha-discuss and Koha-Dev and being open source I don't think we will be able to get people on the right list ever as there are always newbies coming along. I was one of those very recently(still am I think) and it is hard to post the right question at the right place. Often I think people post to Dev thinking they will get a more competent answer - and then I reply! HA!!!! David Schuster nengard wrote:

I'm reluctant to agree developers should "split off" from users into a different channel; it reinforces that perceived divide between users and developers that has been used to cast aspersions on the community in the past. Having experts in the community room is important.
If we could be in two channels simultaneously, that would make conversational threads easier to follow. One channel (or more) channel(s) for user/install questions, another one for developer talk. Mibbit doesn't do well with that, in my opinion, and I'm limited to using web-based clients, as my network blocks IRC. Anyone know of a better tool I could use?

Hi all,
I think it should be fine to have a developper irc channel to talk about technical questions, without been flooded by user/install questions, and talk only about code guidelines, futur of koha, ways to do, how to do, etc...
What do you think about this?
bests,
