Re: [oiic-formation-discuss] IRC Channel created and registered

Jose,

Also, the irc #iic or whatever channel may also be a good idea. I
don't have much experience, but it seemed I was able to create the
channel/chatroom just by typing in the name (freenode and using xchat
I think).

OK, here's a way I can contribute something useful. I have a bit more experience with IRC than you seem to, so I'll come out of lurk mode :-)

I've created and registered both #iic and #oiic for our use on freenode.net, given them a topic, etc. I could add a bot to log the discussions there and make the logs web-accessible if that would be useful.

I'd suggest we use #oiic, since without the ODF implied by the leading 'o', #iic could (theoretically!) be used to discuss implementation, interoperability and conformance of light bulbs, or milk jugs, etc... which is rather outside our intended scope :-)

If there's a good reason to use #iic rather than #oiic, that's fine, please enlighten me.

You'll note that I used odfiic for the domain name to be explicit, which I think is helpful, but for this purpose any of them would probably do.
