[Imc-communication] global irc gathering??

[Tony]

Hello all

Could we have this first meeting on IRC as we all know how to use it 
and if needed not go into too much detail - just see who is 
interested and what the problems are - i have this feeling that by 
the time we sort the new software out people would have drifted!

I say this as i am not the fastest with new tech - and have missed 
many a meeting with new gismos installed...!

cheers tony
