Yes, that's a better idea. #reactos-gsoc

I don't agree. Maintain the auto-voice lists and get someone in charge of operations, like I used to be for many years on IRC.
Instead, why not create a #reactos-gsoc or something?

We can always try it out? If it doesnt work, restoring it is a simple as setting a flag on the channel.

I disagree -- if we can be firm about the channel being only for

In any community, there's inevitably going to be idle talk, offtopic conversations, etc. If you only have ONE place to talk in, all those
thigns
are going to be mixed in with actual dev talk, but if you have clear
rooms
set for each thing, the majority of people will be happy to leave all
the
offtopic talk to the main channel, and dev talk to the dev channel.
It works for plenty other projects and communities so there's no reason
to
be pessimistic and think that "our idiots are worse". It's simply not
true.
I vote for trying, and we can always put back the +m if things get out
of
hand.

I don’t approve the idea. The fact is that if the devs quit originally #reactos, it’s because it was generally too noisy, etc… . If we remove

occur in #reactos-dev too.

Hi all!
As you all know, our #reactos-dev IRC channel has been a moderated IRC channel for decades, and only operators (devs) and voiced people can talk. While we always tried to keep discussions dev-related there, no topic has ever been enforced on #reactos. The result is that I see a notable number of developers only on #reactos-dev these days.
This is a pretty bad situation! Emerging developers hardly have a way
to
interact with all existing devs on IRC. Often enough, legitimate questions from them remain unanswered on #reactos. Moreover, we don't maintain the list of voiced people thoroughly, so even some
contributors
have to ask for temporary voice on #reactos-dev.
Keep in mind that we're currently in the GSoC phase where students
shall
submit their proposals and get in touch with the developers. How are they going to do this on IRC if #reactos-dev continues to be an exclusive club?
Because of these reasons, I'm proposing to remove the moderation bit on #reactos-dev and let everybody talk there. Its development topic should be enforced though! As soon as people get too off-topic, they should be directed to #reactos and kicked if
nothing
else helps. Given that all devs are already operators on #reactos-dev, it's fully in their hands.
Cheers,
Colin
