[humanmarkup] Fw: Chat Room

[Ranjeeth Kumar Thunga <rkthunga@humanmarkup.org>]

We basically have the go-ahead to pursue a chatroom as an experiment.
I suggest we do it for our next meeting on November 21st, since I'd like to
get you in Manos especially.

I suggest we use 2 systems:  1) IRC   2) Yahoo conference
If 1) doesn't work, we try 2).
If neither works, we'll still have teleconferencing setup as a backup

We'll do a trial run beforehand...I suggest next Monday noon EST, and make
sure all parties can connect.

Rex:  The issue regarding About.com's chat hosting is that we are *only*
looking for chat service (*not* a hosting site for humanmarkup discussion).
About.com involves creating a full fledged site, which Sandy suggested may
be inappropriate when I mentioned it to him.
