all, I realize it is *very* late in the game, but the standard IRC
client is lacking. The enhanced irc client, from Steve Wessels I
believe, is proven as a file-in. I think it would really help new
users access the #squeak channel in style, so that we can bring them up
to speed faster. A recent newbie, by the nick of oxblood, came on and
saw the light with examples of numeric auto-coercion and gained a fast
exposure to the browser features.
Please consider a fast track exception on including this, since it goes
directly to helping the beginners that these releases are ultimately
for.
One change should be to include irc.freenode.net:6667 as the default
irc server in the Profile, with perhaps an initial pop-up (Profile
Dialog) when the irc client is started. The profile could have a
checkbox to auto-logon, whenever the client is started.
thanks,
rob
