So please, #drupal-dev goers, either finish what you started by actively working in #drupal to make it more newbie-friendly, or abandon the experiment. So far, this feels like a net loss for the community.

Seems the main issue is that this "fork" was not discussed widely enough in the community.
How about repurposing or a charter change of #drupal vs. #drupal-dev?
#drupal-dev would be for purely development talk, and #drupal for everything drupal (except support), including infrastructure, ...etc.
How about getting a discussion going this time on what to do?
I have no super-strong preference either way at this point; I was only in one round of the "what is drupal for" debates and I didn't really care enough to start a second. However, I do favor not having a multitude of "core" #drupal-* channels. I know there's a bunch that I already don't go to; I don't know what I'm missing there. :-) I really don't want to have to lurk in 3 channels to get the full set. Two is enough. So whatever happens, #drupal should either be for support or development. Having both a separate support and separate development channel doesn't really make sense to me. Which we have, at this point, I don't really care, but let's only have one or the other. --Larry Garfield
