As noted above, IRC is problematic for many people during work hours. However IRC is also inconvenient when developers are all over the world in completely different time zones. Eyal.

Development issues part 1: Project communication Posted Jan 10, 2008 12:31 UTC (Thu) by smitty_one_each (subscriber, #28989) [Link] >This has the effect of excluding interested developers who are not able or willing to monitor an IRC channel throughout their day, but that is unlikely to be the intent. There is #emacs on irc.freenode.net, where actual usage discussions of emacs are the exception, and development discussion is rare, AFAIK. But it's good for a belly laugh. There may be a middle ground for serious development discussion on IRC that is then edited and posted somewhere. Taking the transcript, formatting it, and posting to http://www.emacswiki.org, for example, would lessen the impact of the timezone and firewall issues, though it would require either a) some discipline amongst the developers (it could happen), or b) some hapless fellow to edit (but hey, it's on a wiki, so finding someone to filter it and cross-link it should be less of a challenge).
