Debro, that channel is open to anyone who wants to pop in.  At least with
the #obos-cdt channel I can manage who gets in and who doesn't.

Why setting up another irc channel if there's already one open and with the

If you don't like irc clients, is it quite better to use a web interface,
and that's why i've set it up!
We're splitting up a lot more here...

From a client: server: irc.webmaster.com channel: #openbeos
