Re: Is the scala list getting too busy?

G'day Martin,
I think your argument is extremely valid and in fact, furthers supports
the proposition that we should use IRC, which is real-time collaboration
and can easily and quickly address most of the trivial queries quite easily.

20 more days until we can take channel ownership, but in the meantime,
use the ##scala (TWO hashes) channel on the freenode network.
irc://irc.freenode.net/##scala
