#omero IRC channel on freenode - do we promote it for support/dev chat?
- on it this lunchtime were Kenny, Josh, Mark, Roger, Douglas, Carnë
- Kenny: valuable to give live interactive help, but then is lost because not logged
-
Josh: would be more useful once we can link to logs from tickets, etc.
- Douglas: available as text would be good, Jabber logs cannot be grepped
- Curtis: in Fiji / ImageJ channels not usually many people actively seeking help at once
- Josh: also Google Helpouts (or something like that)
- Josh: help via forums can be much less efficient / fast than a live chat
- Jason: value to live support being provided in a more controlled way
- Mark: useful in searching for technical help to run across IRC logs found through Google
