There was a #wikimedia-admin channel at some point, designed to be a one-stop-shop for admins from all Wikimedia projects; not sure if it's still active.
I like this idea. It seems that it would work. Active admins could join here and idle in channel, in wait. :) How do we set it up?
I still like my idea of a Wikimedia-run Jabber server better. :)
Wikipedia could even integrate with it directly. Users could click a button and page an active admin, who would get a link to their talk page, etc.
I'm not sure if Wikimedia is going to host any chat anything. I have a few servers here, but I'm not all that up on Jabber, or MySQL as it would appear to require.
Honestly, I think perhaps I was trying to page an admin, at 6 AM local here in the us, and no one was awake hardly. Just bad timing, and maybe an isolated event. If it happens again, I'll think of a solution and propose it.
