There are several things that need to be worked out:
- Since throwing everyone into #ubuntu would be a bad idea, we probably need to use application-specific links
- Are these for Ubuntu only (#ubuntu-application) or do we use the official channel?
- Do we include support for all applications (a huge undertaking) or just default ones (easily manageable)?
- How do we make this prominent and easy to understand?
- Since not all applications have official support channels on Freenode, how do we handle the others?
- Create new channels on Freenode. This answer is especially useful if we went with #ubuntu-application channels and less appropriate if we want official channels.
- Use a service like Mibbit.com. We are depending on a third party, which is not something I want to do long term.
- Launch Empathy. Empathy's IRC support is terrible, and it doesn't support passing irc:// URIs now.
- How do we handle internationalization. My thought is to leave that up to the language teams. They can decide what channels to use based on whether they exist and/or are populated.
Thoughts?
