A couple weeks ago, a few developers started going into #drupal-dev instead of #drupal and started a campaign to get people to split off. I guess the reasoning for this was because they disagreed with newbies who didn't read the topic getting 'support?' in their face when they join our "official" channel. I personally think it is a feature, and not a bug, that our main channel is contribution-focused rather than support-focused, but that is largely irrelevant to the topic at hand.
Forgive me for not being as up on my #drupal-whatsnext politics as perhaps I should be. What is being proposed, or has been done, why, and why is it good/bad for the project? As I understood it was: #drupal - development focused #drupal-support - support focused - for newbies #drupal-dojo - training, perhaps a good middle ground. #drupal-theming, ecommerce, consulting et. al. as desired. What I see now: #drupal-dev - development? is this accurate #drupal - I don't know anymore #drupal-dojo - Seems to not have an identity crisis #drupal-support - also is pretty clear. What is #drupal to be if we split of dev talk? -samtresler
