Hello there,
I was browsing around and noticed that the wiki mentions the oftc
#kernelnewbies group, which doesn't appear to be active at the moment.
Assuming I'm correct, I'd like to update things like that - could I be
added to the editor's list?
Cheers
Sven

How does it appear inactive?

At the moment, there's 219 people in there, including several fairly
well-known kernel hackers. Wander by - just remember that most of us
have day jobs and it may take 10-15 minutes for us to notice a question.
Oh, and read http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html first - in
particular, I estimate that somewhere north of 80% of people have questions
of the form "I can't get API A to do X" - when it turns out that the
problem they're trying to solve by using A to do X is better addressed
by using API B to do Y instead.
(And we reserve the right to mock your professor mercilessly if he's assigned
a stupid project that's against basic Linux design principles ;)

ok, thats interesting.
I used xchat's 'list of channels' search feature, and #kernelnewbies did
not appear on either of my desktops.
prompted by your reply, I joined manually ( /join #kernelnewbies) which
clearly worked, and then it also appears in the gui list.
on the other computer it only lists #kernel-br and #kernel-opw -
irrespective of how often i open and close the doors.
excellent - I presume someone with irc-foo might know why #kernelnewbies
is hidden.

to follow up on this - /mode #kernelnewbies returns:
Channel #kernelnewbies modes: +ns
which means the channel is marked as 'secret'? is this intentional?

To keep spam bots away?
The channel is clearly listed on our website.
Until now everybody found it...
