Freenode.net is good too IMHO.

No, it is not. There's no reason for Freenode to exist. It's just a bunch of "reimplementers" who wanted their own chatnet...only gimpnet is lamer. EFNet has always worked fine, is well-established, has servers world-wine, and then some people think, "hey, lets create another DALnet but with a free-software attitude"... Just my incredbly unhumble opinion... nikolai

Wow. Sorry. I really flew off the handle there. I hope no one was too offended. I really didn't mean to get off like that. I need to start leaving my mail in "Drafts" a while before sending them off. I guess I had a stranger opinion about Freenode than I myself realized. Again, sorry for lashing out like that. nikolai

Hi all, Since a #context channel exists on irc.freenode.net, we can use it, no ? Renaud

That remembers me to update my old links... I don't know if that channel ever was active, someone announced it a long while ago... Greetlings from Lake Constance! Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://contextgarden.net http://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer)

Well, depends what you mean by active. There is no discussion in the channel, but there are usually one or two [me ;)] in the channel. Since yesterday we are three. Hans wrote:

You need the ChatZilla plugin, then it will open in firefox: http://www.hacksrus.com/~ginda/chatzilla/ (Click on install 0.9.70 in the bottom right) With IRC or Internet Relay Chat you join a so-called channel on a server; every line one types is instantly visible to the others in the channel and vice versa, which makes question-answer discussion quite fast.

IRC= Internet Relay Chat You need an irc client in order to log in and chat. I'm a beginner in irc and I use the BitchX client (linux). For windows, there is mirc, etc. It seems interesting to me to have the possibility to chat directly about burning issue with ConTeXt guru or simple users like me... Maybe we can add a section in contextgarden about #context irc channel and a mini howto irc.freenode.net#context ? Your opinion ? I have never participate to the wiki but I can write a #context minihowto if you're agree and if some people are interested... Renaud

sounds ok to me; however, we must make sure that if solutions show up in the chat, that they get posted to the list/wiki when they're useful for others Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Hans, all, I think obviously that the IRC channel is usefull for direct chat but the pertinent solutions due to #context will be reported to the mailing list. The keyword seems to be complementarity since #context permits us to discuss about ConTeXt more openly. Anyway, when one needs tex source analysis, the mailing list is the best place. For those who use Firefox (like me or Hans :-) ), I have seen that there is an extension for IRC : Chatzilla For the wiki, I will write the #context minihowto asap... Hans Hagen a écrit :

Hello Renaud, I usually hang around in #ConTeXt at Freenode, and, say 99.9% of the time since last summer there has been nobody there. However, recently people started to show up. We were three some day ago. My client lillpelle is usually active. But now I am at work... See you soon! /Micke P On 1/27/06, Renaud AUBIN wrote:
