Currently, the topic in #webplatform indicates it should be used for support for web development and design. I think we should change this. I'd rather see #webplatform be for the community behind the site rather than be a support channel for all things web development. - Currently #css, ##javascript, #html5, #svg, #html, #jquery and #web address support issues - Capturing all their combined scope doesn't scale for a single channel, but more importantly people who give answers in support channels prefer more niche topic areas and can get burnt out with too much off-topic questioning - We have a lot of work to do to firm up the content and using IRC as a place to sync on those efforts will supplement the list and ticket traffic. Both Chris Mills and Divya, have indicated in other threads a sense of support fatigue already in the channel. I've noticed this as well. I'd like to use the channel as realtime supplement to this list as well as a means to cultivate community with incoming folks and quickly get them involved. (As a note for list member who havent been on IRC, we've quickly gained a stable community of ~200 people, and found some of our largest contributors there) _ Paul
