Hello,
Maybe this feature might be implemented for all wikis ? :0) Chating while working on an article might be usefull.

There is also a cgi-chat but it does not work. And the "wikchatbot". It logs all activity on the channel and puts it on http://chatlogs.wikipedia.be
It is made by user Wilinckx

Loo gave me that address http://www.pure-mac.com/irct.html
Alvaro made me download and install AthenaIRC: 2.1.0 for MacOS 9.x the other day.
Apparently one of the few for Mac OS 9 and free ?
As nickname and username I put Anthere As Quit message : I put nothing (I do not know what I am supposed to put)
In the connection settings, I put
Serveur : irc.freenode.net (as written on fr.wikipedia) Port 6667 (well, that was default) Password : none (because I know not what I should write) At what command to put at login : I put nothing (I have no idea what to put) At what to write at logoff : I put nothing (I have no idea what to put) At Motd display : I put Display in dialogue (other options don't post, or post to console) +i invisible is checked +w receive operator message is not +s receive server message is not (these were options per default) In autoexecute : I put nothing (I do not know what to put)
In short, this is all chinese to me.
When I try to connect, I have this message
*** Closing Link: Anthere (Connection Timed Out) *** Attempting reconnect in 5 seconds *** Opening IDENT Socket, waiting for connection *** Connected to irc.freenode.net *** Ident Connected *** Looking up your hostname... *** Ident Request Recieved *** Found your hostname, welcome back *** Checking ident *** Got ident response *** Some command did not include enough parameters
This is also chinese to me
What do I do ? Ideas for me to be able to join the wikipedia community discussions ?
err...the name of the missing plugin perhaps ?
The connection log seems to show that you connected successfully. You should be on the IRC server, but still have to join the channel(s). Type:
/join #wikipedia
and type also:
/join #fr.wikipedia
