<quote> Jim Fulton and Paul Everett are going to be availiabe for a chat at Wednesday, May 31 at 1:00 PM EST on the #zope channel of irc.openprojects.net. </quote> I have not used IRC before, but would love to join the chat session. I just just downloaded a trial version of 'mIRC' software for Win32 from http://www.mirc.co.uk which seems to work ok. For the benefit of any other IRC newbies like me on Win32, hre are some trivial how-to notes <help> 1. Under 'options' menu select category=connect and then click 'Add' 2. Description = anynameyouwant, server = irc.openprojects.net, port=6667[default, works ok], group&password = blank 3.This will return you to 'options' menu select category=connect. Enter your name and email etc..Then select new server named anynameyouwant from the pop-up menu, and click 'Connect to IRC Server' button 4. A window with scrolling list named "mIRC Channels Folder" should appear.For the first time type "#zope" in the field titled "Enter name of channel to join".. #zope will be added to the list. 5. Now select #zope from the scrolling list and click the 'Join' button Voila..! You should now be in the zope chat window - other users will be listed on right hand margin <help> irseeya - Jason ________________________________________________________________ Jason CUNLIFFE = NOMADICS.(Interactive Art and Technology).Design Director
