IRC is somewhat old-fashioned but always usefull to have a quick and clear conversation, a forum I would prefer above a mailinglist, since most forums have a better searchfunctionality than my emailclient. Also it imho easier to keep discussion well-structured when using discussion threads on a forum, however that is my personal opinion based on previous experience with mailinglists and forums. -- Rick On 3/23/07, Gavin Pearce <work@gavinpearce.co.uk> wrote: > > I retract changing IRC to something else, but mainly we need a way of online > idea management.
