Certainly IRC is the best way to inform developers and sys admins of a
problem with Wikipedia.
As a user, I also like to know what's going on when there is a problem.
But, I'm not regularly on IRC. If I'm at work where I sometimes look up
things on Wikipedia (but don't edit), and see that Wikipedia is down, then I
am curious what the problem is. However, IRC and other types of chat are
forbidden at work. :( But, I am allowed to access gmail.
So, I very much appreciate it when people send messages to the mailing list
about such problems.
