<Is the IRC channel underused because nobody wants to use it, or because nobody bothers because it's underused?>
That's a good question. I am a newcomer to the project, and looked in their hoping to find some help, but only found one person in there, which I felt was a bit intimidating (it's easier to direct a question to anyone that wants to answer, than to one person I find). Maybe I'll try to spend some more time there. Maybe I just looked in at a bad time?
