Hi folx, I am happy to announce that SAGA RG and SAGA CORE WG once more are to serve as guinea pigs for the OGF IT gimmicks! More precisely, you should be able to connect to the OGF IRC server. There is a channel #saga-rg always open, and its contents is nicely logged, so that is a viable alternative to email discussions, and also should enable us to create meeting minutes etc. on the fly For more info, have a peek at http://forge.ggf.org/sf/wiki/do/viewPage/projects.ggf-info/wiki/GGFIRC Please let me know if you have any trouble. Cheers, Andre. PS.: I tested access with gaim and xchat - that works nicely. One glitch: both clients are somewhat silent if login fails. The usual problem is that you did not use your gridforge login... I would be happy to learn about other clients behaviour - good or bad. -- "So much time, so little to do..." -- Garfield
