Re: Website for Wikibookians

the traffic doesn't unnecessarily have to be offloaded onto wikizine, it can
be any server but i can see your point.  however i also cannot see the
foundation allowing you to host an IRC server on any of their servers, so
why not just donate to wikizine or IRC@work or somebody??

as for the useability, yes i agree that CGI:IRC isnt exactly the best but im
hoping to (try at least) to get the same kinda stuff set up to use the java
client here ->  http://java.freenode.net

thanks
