Somebody already started a #djgpp channel on DALnet, but it has languished for lack of support. There just aren't enough interested people to maintain a 24 hour presence on the channel, which is what would be required for truly effective user support. The other problem, of course, is finding enough knowledgeable folks to give help. I can't see DJ or Eli or Robert having time to sit on IRC for hours at a time; while I also have a great deal of knowledge I can only be on for a couple of hours in the evenings. We really need to get together a group of people who would be capable of taking shifts on IRC and know enough to help users through the basics. If we could establish that the #djgpp channel would really be actively supported, it would probably take off on its own. ;) -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- | John M.
