Just reminding you all that we have IRC chat, and it's a great place to talk some real time DC.
Just point your favorite IRC client to irc.macnn.com, channel #distributed.
I'm usually there, and there's always some help from someone.
Drop in and say hi, get some tips, chat up a storm, whatever.

I thought the channel was #team
Oh well, IRC isn't my favorite chat location. General MacNN forum goers used to get together in AIM Chat under "MacNN Chat", I think that I shall open an AIM chat room called "Team MacNN".
For those inexperienced with AIM chat, you do not need an invite to enter a chat room. If you know the name of the chat room, you can invite yourself in.
In your AIM-compatible client, create a new chat room called "Team MacNN" and put your own AIM user name in the "members to invite" field. You will pop into the chat room.

Isn't Macintosh all about ease of use? Using IRC seems to contradict that. Although AIM comes from AOL (shudder) it is easy to use. We could also use something else that's easy to use, and could help the Team in many ways. Use Carracho. For chatting, another BB, hosting files such as clients, scripts, MDC3. etc. I'm sure someone has an OS X Mac that could run the server app 24/7.

things we don't need include two places for these things, like bb.
files are hosted or linked to on the macnn server, we have a bb, and we have irc.
IRC isn't hard to use.
AIM chat is a pain, at least for me, and for larger user groups.
reader50: I gave up on #team because no one every showed up there.
#distributed took it's place.
Sorry, but I can't be everywhere.
I'm around in IRC most of the time, and that's where I can be found.

IRC is not an option for me when I am at work because of the firewall. I can do AIM chat, but no one appears to be there at the moment.
