I think it would be nice if Boost.org pointed to the IRC channel so that those who were so inclined could go there for help or discussion that is generally more immediate than what email can provide.

I don't mean to sound condescending, but if you needed real time assistance, then you might be needing a consultant -- or a helpdesk. I generally think IRC is more for the socialization and "logged meetings" than really any real form of "online help". Although that might just be me. :-)

Hey, the channels work great! Don't knock them. But don't abuse them either. Now to get IT to let irc through the firewall again... :( Sohail
