Hi there,

I have created a Skype group for developers and people who want to talk about the IPFS InterPlanetary File System project and its use cases :)

It's brand new but there seems to be interest in this project so I hope it will grow.

Welcome to join here:

Definitely feel free, but is there something the freenode channel isn't covering here? Segmenting the community may be worse than having a single place at which everyone can chat.

While we're at it, what about switching to Slack? 

Or --
Maybe someone can recommend good tools to me for osx or Android or command line or even web based use of irc -- I've never found tools that I liked enough to use for longer than an emergency question...

Slack on the other hand has great clients.  It is free for public orgs I think.  It has great hubot integration and tons of other integrations.  It allows you to download an archive in nice json format (not sure if for free projects, needs checking), which could live in IPFS of course. 

I know I'd be more active in IPFS discussions on slack than on irc or Skype, maybe there are lots more who feel like this too...

Maybe we should do all three... Maybe some people just strongly prefer each toolset...

:-1: i'm not a fan. centralized, insecure, etc. nice UX though. want a slack clone that's p2p.

irccloud.com is very good, has mobile apps.

we could in theory have a slack with a bot that proxies between irc + slack. i'd like to not segment things?

..and if someone prefers self-hosted solution:

There is an old-school style console IRC client called Weechat[1].
One can easily set it up as a relay[2] for external clients (and secure
client connections with SSL/TLS[3]).
Having that, it is possible to connect to a weechat instance from multiple
clients, such as an Android app[4] or a pure HTML5 web frontend[5] (all
this while preserving single chat history).

Kind regards,

I don't want to segment the community, I want to supplement it : D

If IPFS is successful, which might happen, there will probably be lots of discussion groups all over the Internet. I was talking to some Ethereum Dapp developers the other days and they wanted to know more about IPFS and so do I : )

Also, occasionally we have real VoIP discussions and then Skype comes in handy : D

Hope to talk to you some day.

@davidar recently suggested using Matrix. he put a client on IPFS. I want to improve it a bit and then we can use it to connect people directly to IRC.

also inlined

I'd like to throw in a +1 for Slack. I'm currently on a multi-week road trip & my primary interface is my phone.

I've been tracking a project I'm contracted on fairly easily through the Slack Android app.

I'd like to be able to join #ruby-client, browse the past discussions, & engage the channel.

So far as accessibility, I'm not a fan of Slack's forced gated community, but https://github.com/rauchg/slackin more or less opens it with ~5 minutes work.

-Will
