[members-discuss] Promote the use of IRC

Hi all,

Im wondering what do you guys think about the use of IRC instead of 
mailing list for some quick discussions, chit chat, etc...

RIPE already have a unique IRC server, but I'm sure lot of us could host 
irc servers and irc services (as nickname registrarion, channels, etc.)

The IRC could also be a good way to learn about how RIPE works in all of 
their WG, and I think is a good way to know better each other, have a 
really good BCOP communication.

I'm relatively new to RIPE and maybe this question was answered before, 
but I didnt found anything searching for "IRC" or "Chat".

For sure, I could host and irc server and/or irc services. I worked with 
them before.

As a note, we could see the posibility to be authenticated on IRC based 
on our RIPE login.
Also, channel logs (for logging history) can be publicly available as html.

What do you think? I'm crazy?

Regards,

--Daniel
