I am feeling very chatty today

1. Now that we're down to being enormously picky here on the docs team, don't we need our own irc channel, huh huh huh? really? huh?

2. Is there a DW Comm for making suggestions? I don't actually have any suggestions right now, but I was wondering if there was an existing comm, because if there is, I'd like to link it in dreamchasers.

3. Is there a DW Comm for asking really dumb questions? Okay, yeah, in theory there aren't any stupid questions, but in reality there are. But shouldn't there still be a place where people can ask them? (Less fuss, less muss, less work for Mother if they're all in one place, and all questions aren't Support Questions, yanno.) And (you guessed) if there is, I'd like to link it in dreamchasers.

Pau and I are hanging around in #dw_docs... maybe you should too ;)

We've used #dw_docs occasionally in the past. If people want to start using it more regularly, I think that's a great idea.

nobody tells me anything...

Well, up until today, I hadn't set foot in their for weeks, probably months. Long enough that I can't remember how long ago it was. It's just something we've used temporarily when we needed to discuss something at a specific juncture. We can make it into a full time happy fun channel of joy though.

I think it's going to be dw_suggestions, but it's not open for business yet.

No, but there should be! dw_n00b or something.

Some of the good people of IRC have just set up getting_started which I think is designed partly as a place for asking dumb questions.

I'm tremendously envious of you lot that can do IRC! ::is green::

*admires your green*

(I *can* but it's a lot of work - it short circuits most of my dyslexia coping techniques...)

::inserts pun about the sharin' o' the green::

I do great on the computer so long as nothing flashes or moves or pops up when I'm focusing on something else. All of those hit my visual processing disorder hard, and that pulls down the rest of the neuro function, too.

Before my brain injury in 97 I spent a *lot* of time on IRC and other chat programs, and I miss it.
