2010 IRC Hour Discussion Thread

This thread is dedicated to all things related to the official IRC Hour. Following each session, there will be a short recap posted here by either Michael Perry or one of our site admins. This will also be the thread where you post suggestions for upcoming sessions, and provide feedback on how to improve IRC Hour.

What It Is: IRC Hour is a chance for the community to have real-time talks with myself and our site admins, Scott Burns and David Montgomery-Blake. The subject of these talks is to discuss official docs, tutorials, community contribution, engines, and general TorquePowered "going ons". We will be using the IRC channel hosted by MaxGaming OnLine.

Where Is It:
Server: irc.maxgaming.net
Channel: #GarageGames

What It Isn't: Debugging other people's code, marathon one-on-one help sessions, soap-box rants, etc.

Organization: Due to the nature of IRC, patience and civility will be required to maintain order and convey everyone's thoughts. We will be making extensive use of private tells to help field questions to guests, but if there are no guests we can have an open forum.

When: Each session will happen every third Thursday, at 3:00 pm (PST).

If the concept proves popular and attendance increases, we may add a second hour in a month.

Purpose: Primarily, this will be another great source of feedback that can be used to improve our engines, documentation and the community. Venting directly to an employee, become a part of an official process in Torque, and general back and forth about the issues important to you.

We look forward to seeing everyone in the channel (hosted by MaxGaming OnLine).
