That would probably require a custom server though. Or maybe the foundation could set up an Eclipse-sponsored IRC proxy/relay to qualified IRC channels so that poor saps like us who have no influence with IT can get access?<br/><br/>I don't know if that sort of thing is even possible. I'm fairly ignorant when it comes to that sort of thing... IRC is great, but the majority of us do not have access to it through our corporate firewalls.

I don’t know if that sort of thing is even possible. I’m fairly ignorant when it comes to that sort of thing…
