realtime development with IRC

[Graham Percival]

In the midst of all the wailing and gnashing of teeth, and before
I go drink myself into a stupor for screwing up yet another
release (the 2.13.7 online docs are borked, although the local
offline docs look just peachy), I'd like to add a positive note.

Jan and I have been collaborating on GUB for the past two months
on the #lilypondn channel.  (I think it's efnet, but you can find
the link on the old website and the new website under
Community->Contact ).

If it weren't for this channel, it would have taken twice as long
to reach this point.  For some things, it's really handy having
the quick feedback.


I tend to be there when I'm at university and not teaching, so if
you want to discuss something without the care and gravity which
we use for emails, drop by!  At the moment I'm on a standard "PhD
student schedule", which means that I arrive shortly after noon on
most days.

Cheers,
- Graham
