Chat.... Chat?

[Seri]

So in light of ENW2 having a slight delay, Michael, what's the plan for the chat room?

I'd would really appreciate some feedback from MM and Morrus

Thanks

I haven't anything to add since my last post; the technical side/implementation is Mike's job, but as you may have realised, he's a little busy trying not to get fired by his real job right now!

Russ, there has been some comment since your post that I think we would like to get some feedback on.

I think more information is needed on all sides. I'm feeling like this is a bit us vs them, which is what I think we all want to get away from.

I would like to suggest three things.

1. create a list of questions and try to stick to them so this doesn't turn into a rehashing of the past, this is movement forward and providing solutions to problems.

2. start a thread asking the forum community what they would like to see in a chatroom (interface (web/irc/?) topics, issues, etc. Have a set time limit to the forum, ie this will run for 1 week and will be used as reference point to improve service to both communities (forum&chat)

3. schedule a chat in channel during the time period mentioned above, have Morrus, MM, Xmanii, channel ops, Bynw and anyone else I'm missing there, and get the same input from the chat community.

I think that would provide a starting point for making decisions that would benefit all of the community.

I'd also like to know what you intend to happen to the current channel and mod staff? Are we simply renaming the channel as has been discussed? Or are you wanting to scrap everything and start over on your own?

Well, regarding Seri's question - I'm fairly sure most people know how I view decisions made by committee - pointless waste of time! Nah, as far as I'm concerned it's solved: keep the channel, find a decent web interface I'm happy with. Need Mike for that though, so I'll wait.

As far as staff - no intention to change. My ideal situation is rename it #enworld, but have anyone who goes to #dnd3e end up in the same place. The web interface would go to #enworld, of course.
