[sword-devel] #bibletime is now on irc.oftc.net

[Troy A. Griffitts]

I know many other collaboration frameworks were discussed and this email 
is not meant to discourage their use, and I realize Bibletime mentioned 
they went with OFTC for IRC, and I don't mean to disagree with their 
decision...

Preparing for these conferences this week, I found that our "chat with 
us" link on our website was pointing to a defunct freenode channel.  My 
very very brief research seems to show most of freenode now moving to 
libera.chat.  I also noticed that many of our regular chat users ended 
up over there so I modified our web chat link, and thus our recommended 
IRC channel to point to libera.chat:

https://web.libera.chat/?nick=Guest?#sword

This link shows up in the conference promotion, so if you have time to 
monitor the channel this week and patiently support newcomers with 
questions, your efforts would be greatly appreciated.
