Maybe it’s just that I’m an IRC/IM junkie, but I wanted to inquire about it anyway. First, there is a channel on Freenode ([irc.freenode.net](http://irc.freenode.net)) called #radiantcms. Second, although it’s preserved by ChanServ, I’m usually the only one in it except someone by the nick of “o”, and he/she doesn’t respond much. So what I’m asking of you all is, “can we use it more?” Many of the discussions that happen in the mailing list could alternatively or additionally take place in IRC. As RadiantCMS gets more users, we’ll see even more basic questions about how to set it up and use it. While I have hopes that it will never become like #rubyonrails, it could help out the beginners (and us more experienced ones who want to discuss advanced topics!). My $0.02. Sean C.

I wasn’t protesting the email list, I just think people should use IRC more. 🙂 Sean C. [seancribbs.com](http://seancribbs.com) ---

The advantage of email is that more people can have input on what’s happening in Radiant. I am working most of the day and I would feel I am missing out on stuff unless I had some time to actually get on a computer. Another nice thing about a mailing list is the fact that everything is “recorded.” I can search google groups and find problems and solutions for topics on Radiant. That’s cool. But I see you concern. Email imposes a certain restriction on having a good “conversation.” 🙂 Maybe other folks out there have some good idea what might be an acceptable solution. On 9/12/06, Sean C.

Here’s your paragraph! (in Textile 😉 ) Having trouble installing or using RadiantCMS? Want to share a success story? You can chat with members of the user and developer community in real time in the @#radiantcms@ channel on @irc.freenode.net@. You’ll need an IRC(Internet Relay Chat) Client, but “here’s a list of them”:[http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/IRC](http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/IRC) from the Ruby on Rails wiki.
