Hello there,

How does it appear inactive? --- Jonathan Neuschäfer

At the moment, there's 219 people in there, including several fairly well-known kernel hackers. Wander by - just remember that most of us have day jobs and it may take 10-15 minutes for us to notice a question. Oh, and read http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html first - in particular, I estimate that somewhere north of 80% of people have questions of the form "I can't get API A to do X" - when it turns out that the problem they're trying to solve by using A to do X is better addressed by using API B to do Y instead. (And we reserve the right to mock your professor mercilessly if he's assigned a stupid project that's against basic Linux design principles ;)

I used xchat's 'list of channels' search feature, and #kernelnewbies did not appear on either of my desktops. prompted by your reply, I joined manually ( /join #kernelnewbies) which clearly worked, and then it also appears in the gui list. on the other computer it only lists #kernel-br and #kernel-opw - irrespective of how often i open and close the doors. excellent - I presume someone with irc-foo might know why #kernelnewbies is hidden.

to follow up on this - /mode #kernelnewbies returns: Channel #kernelnewbies modes: +ns which means the channel is marked as 'secret'? is this intentional? Sven

To keep spam bots away? The channel is clearly listed on our website. Until now everybody found it... -- Thanks, //richard
