Help: New channel #gentoo-help low-bandwidth support channel

Hi,

I'm the founder of #gentoo-help, a low-bandwidth help channel on irc.freenode.net. We have about 10 regulars in the #gentoo-help channel now, the channel has been active for quite some time, about 4 or 5 months.

Is there anyone who knows how I can get #gentoo-help added to the official gentoo irc list of channels on the web site? I think it would be great if we can get some more people in #gentoo-help.

So far, it's mainly newbies asking questions, and gentoo veterans helping them.

If anyone has any ideas on getting the channel on the official irc list, email me at motiv8x@yahoo.com

Thanks!

Motiv8x

Maybe we should connect #gentoo-help and the
GentooKernelAndHardwareWiki by cross-linking them ....
What do you think :?:

I think it sounds like a good idea.

#gentoo is chaos

It would be nice to see people getting help on one channel, discussing things on another

For it to be on the official list, it needs to be owned by a developer (and for general purpose channels, a manager is better).

I don't think we want it to be an official channel anyway; there's no point in fragmenting support channels. #gentoo is a general purpose help channel, we don't need another - of course, if users want to run unofficial low-bandwidth support channels, that's entirely up to them.

There is #gentoo-user for low bandwidth chat.
