I don't know much about it. It has been proposed and requested by more then one person, so I brought it the group's attention.<br>

The idea is not to talk :) The point brought up is that IRC is limiting. While it may be a great conversational tool, with clear advantages such as logging and reading back, it would be great if we had some sort of "white board"(black board, like one in school) to also show things. Visual feedback is sometimes crucial and unfortunately IRC does not provide for one.<br>
