Hi Ludo,
I didn’t see your message when I drafted mine, but I’ve come to
the same conclusion as you have.
This is unsustainable. If we want an IRC channel that remains
useful to
us, I think we may have to make it “invitation-only” so that
only
Assembly participants can join, at least the coming days/weeks.
Mark W., is this feasible? WDYT? (I think you’re the one with
Ultimate
Power over the channel; we should update ‘roles.md’.)
It would still be good to be able to answer questions from
outsiders,
but currently we’re just too few on IRC to handle it, I’m
afraid.
I agree that for the time being we should restrict discussion on
#gnuassembly until a time when we can be confident that enough of
us are present to adequately handle the many genuine questions
that undoubtedly will be raised, but also to ensure that
discussions on this channel are not merely dominated by
non-members expressing their disagreement with us, drowning out
any other conversations that could be had there.
