Friends,
A few days ago I got complains in the IRC channel that kamailio was a dead project because
there was never anyone in the channel to support it. It might be helpful for the project
if more of us try to connect to the #kamailio and #sip-router channels more frequently.
It's quite empty.

Speaking of ways to improve IRC, the following ideas come to my mind:
- Shut down #Kamailio and let it point at #sip-router instead. I see no
real benefit in maintaining two distinct channels.
- Extend the channel topic to show the (shortened?) URL to the mailing
lists. It's the primary approach to support Kamailio and will keep to be.
Just my 2 cents.

ahh, irc ... but we use twitter, facebook, g+ these days :-). Actually I
like irc and used to be there, but lately it was quite impossible
time-wise to be online for long time and join the channels. Maybe other
people can stay there and if they cannot answer, then they will suggest
or even bring themselves the topic on mailing lists. The mailing lists
stays the main and most convenient support channel for community from my
point of view at this moment.

This can be done and hopefully will help.

I was just assuming that it worked somehow because I often find myself
being forwarded. By virtue of Google, I found this blog post which
claims that it is in fact feasible:
http://www.geekshed.net/2010/03/can-i-link-two-channels/
Money quote:
"Linking two channels together is very easy, as it only involves setting
two channel modes – the first sets a limit of X people that can be in
the channel, and the second sets the channel to send people to after X
people have joined the main channel.
[...]
So if I wanted to forward my channel #Inara to #Adria, I would do the
following: /mode #Inara +lL 1 #Adria. If I wanted to always have the
channel set like that, so that nobody could change it, I would use
chanserv’s mlock option, and do: /msg chanserv set #Inara mlock +lL 1
#Adria."
HTH,

I tried but the first command seems without effect and for the second
I
am replied that I am not allowed to do it. Tried few more options found
on google, but no luck either. Anyhow, not an irc guy here, anyone
willing to become op and try merging the channels?
Cheers,
Daniel

I don't disagree with removing it from the web page or add a disclaimer

sure to send e-mail to the -users mailing list with your question,
and you'll get an answer quickly, when the people that has the answers are

If no one is online in IRC, remove IRC from support alternatives.

Hi all,
I was yesterday on the official GNU IRC channel . Even if there were
quite a bunch of people there, there was no talk on the channel itself.
I've asked a question and got nothing... half our later somebody asked
another question .... still nothing (ok maybe they were on the USA TZ or
something but still... it's GNU).
IMHO interest for IRC has gone to a new low lately (like the last
decade). Maybe we can put a chanbot that will redirect users to the
mailing list or website (or periodically list info about the project,
FAQs etc.)

Agree that it seems old-fashioned. Jabber chat rooms feels more modern. In this group, we
should have a kamailio conf room to stress Daniel's code.

Hi Olle,
the last change in #kamailio was done from Daniel according to the server
status. For sip-router maybe he's as well access.
Best regards,

OK, so at least I am OP for all these channels (#sip-router, #kamailio
and #openser), not sure if I am owner. I changed the topics, then I
tried to merge with the hints provided previously, but failed to get
good results here.
If any of the good friends of our projects wants OP capabilities and
spend time to forward the other channels to #sip-router, improve
interaction with bots, a.s.o. to make irc activity more useful, drop me
an email with the irc id. Also will be appreciated if you can send the
irc commands that grant you the privileges you need.
Cheers,
Daniel
