Wikivoyage talk:IRC channel

IRC via the web
Does anyone have a web link to the freenode Wikivoyage channel? -- (WT-en) Tom Holland (xltel) 17:05, 14 Feb 2006 (EST)

 * Do you mean like irc://irc.freenode.net/#wikivoyage ? --(WT-en) Evan 17:11, 14 Feb 2006 (EST)

 * No, I'm looking for something that can be used behind a corporate firewall, like http://webchat.xs4all.nl/cgi-bin/ircnet/irc.cgi but for freenode #Wikivoyage. -- (WT-en) Tom Holland (xltel) 17:20, 14 Feb 2006 (EST)

 * Maybe this will answer your question: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#webchat - there is no "official" webchat interface but it seems possible to connect to freenode IRC using a web browser. (WT-en) Ricardo (Rmx) 15:37, 25 April 2006 (EDT)

Wikivoyage on IRC
Swept in from the Pub:

Is this used much? The link given on the help page didn't work in my browser. I haven't used mIRC in about 7 years, but I downloaded it in the hopes of getting some quick answers to easy questions. (Instead of asking in my edit summaries :)). When I got to #wikivoyage I was all alone. Sup? (WT-en) OldPine 11:16, 16 June 2006 (EDT)
 * Bah... was on the wrong server. My bad. (WT-en) OldPine 11:22, 16 June 2006 (EDT)

VFD Discussion

 * Delete. Unless I'm mistaken this IRC channel is completely unused, so the page referencing it is misleading. -- (WT-en) Ryan • (talk) • 18:47, 9 August 2010 (EDT)
 * Keep. I'd rather not leave redlinks in old discussions that pointed to this.  We can mark it as inactive.  (WT-en) LtPowers 18:52, 9 August 2010 (EDT)
 * I'm OK with keeping it if needed, but there are only five links to that page, not counting the VFD, which could be cleaned up fairly easily. -- (WT-en) Ryan • (talk) • 19:37, 11 August 2010 (EDT)
 * Well, it's also nice to have it around in case anyone wants to start it up again. (WT-en) LtPowers 20:52, 11 August 2010 (EDT)

Result: Kept. -- (WT-en) Ryan • (talk) • 19:41, 23 August 2010 (EDT)

Chat room
Swept from the pub:

What you guys think should we have a chat room? can be on IRC or any.. It can be used in very useful manner, we can discuss on an article when two or more editors are involved in editing an article and many other little things related to WV, that we sometime hesitate to post on talk pages.. Also can have a little social chit chat amongst the peoples who are here. --Saqib (talk) 18:00, 4 October 2012 (CEST)

 * Love the idea. I find that permanently etching the ephemera of chat onto talk pages rather obfuscates proceedings.(WV-en) Travelpleb (talk) 18:25, 4 October 2012 (CEST)

 * You're not wrong! --W. Franke-mailtalk 20:27, 4 October 2012 (CEST)

 * Social chat's fine, but discussing article or policy work on IRC tends to lead to "Well we discussed that on IRC, and here's what we decided," which leaves no record on-wiki and leaves people who weren't on chat in the dark. LtPowers (talk) 20:51, 4 October 2012 (CEST)

 * I agree fully with LtPowers--decisions and the processes by which we make them need to have a public record. Nothing wrong with chatting about our project, though, be it on IRC, in emails, or ideally over dinner or beer. --Peter Talk 22:33, 4 October 2012 (CEST)

 * Didn't we used to have a Wikitravel IRC? JamesA  >talk 03:06, 5 October 2012 (CEST)

 * Not to derail this discussion, but we are starting afresh with the list of X-ers who live in Y list, right (I'm thinking about dinner and beer)? I'll get on that now. --Peter Talk 04:39, 5 October 2012 (CEST)
 * (IRC) channel #wikivoyage and #wikivoyage-en both already registered. See here. --Saqib (talk) 14:51, 7 October 2012 (CEST)

IRC
Just reminding people that we have an IRC channel! I'd encourage some of the regulars to use it - there have been people joining the channel expecting to find people who have been around a while and get advice, or to inform the project of something, and have been disappointed as there's nobody else there. If you need help connecting or have any questions, let me know! --Rschen7754 19:01, 25 February 2013 (UTC)`
 * How about an on-line meetup between the active Wikivoyagers? --Saqib (talk) 20:17, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Andrew: I encourage you to setup a meeting on IRC once a month where we can join you and discuss the potential featured articles. YPSI: What do you think? --Saqib (talk) 19:23, 12 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Not sure...I think the usual place works well. ϒpsilon (talk) 19:41, 12 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes. It would be better for discussions like that to take place onwiki so that folks who don't use IRC (like me) can still participate. -- AndreCarrotflower (talk) 20:59, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

Wikivoyage talk:Italian Wikivoyage Expedition

Italian-language Wikivoyage
Based on some requests sent in private email, I've got started an Italian Wikivoyage Expedition. Native speakers of Italian should check it out. --(WT-en) Evan 18:06, 9 Aug 2004 (EDT)

When starts the italian-language Wikivoyage? User:Pz-engl

 * We need a go-between, and we need the language interface file translated. --(WT-en) Evan 09:51, 17 Aug 2005 (EDT)

 * We still do. Does someone want to contact the people who've signed up for this expedition to get these last few tasks finished? --(WT-en) Evan 21:46, 27 Aug 2005 (EDT)

---

I would like to write articles in italian. (WT-en) Pz-engl 11:08, 20 Oct 2005 (EDT)

--- If the Italian Wikivoyage starts, will be publish here too? (WT-en) Pz-engl 13:29, 21 Oct 2005 (EDT)

 * Yes, you'll see some links from here. It'll be a big deal. If you're eager, why not volunteer to be the "go-between"? --(WT-en) Evan 10:49, 25 Oct 2005 (EDT)

Heej
Hi boys, so... what about this italian wikivoyage? I would like to help :)

Voting for the Go-between gets in the way
Why must the go-between be chosen by voting? Worse yet: why can't a user vote for himself? From what I've seen in previously launched versions, finding a go-between is hard enough when anyone is allowed volunteer to do the job. I don't think voting will help that in any way, unless that two or more users really want to be the go-between, which does not seem to be the case here. Don't let this get in the way of the launching process! --(WT-en) Ricardo (Rmx) 16:55, 17 May 2006 (EDT)

Voting??
How can we vote for anybody if there are no candidates? Or every subscriber of the expedition is a potential candidate? (WT-en) Simone 17:18, 17 May 2006 (EDT)

Hi guys
Hi, I'd really like to start this wikivoyage in Italian... it would be a great think... it's really a pity that it's not up yet... COME ON!!!!!!!

If nobody wants to be go-between, I would suggest to vote SabineCretella, who has a huge experience in wiktionary... if she wants to help... Otherwise I can try too...

let's try to start someway!! (WT-en) Dennis 14:16, 23 May 2006 (EDT)

 * Hi, Dennis. Why don't you try talking Sabine into undertaking the go-between role? She's been a good contributor to German Wikivoyage and could be a great addition to Italian too. Otherwise, you could leave (WT-en) Evan a message telling him that you'd like to volunteer for the job. Italian Wikivoyage just seems to need a little pushing to start. Auguri, (WT-en) Ricardo (Rmx) 16:28, 30 May 2006 (EDT)

 * Ok, i'll try to contact her and see what she thinks about allthing! Let's hope! :) (WT-en) Dennis 13:35, 8 June 2006 (EDT)

 * That'd be super-great. I've set up a new language version at http://it.wikivoyage.org/wiki/, currently read-only. When you've worked out who'll be "go-between" for the site, drop me a line on my talk page and I'll add that user as an admin, and set the read-write flag for the site. --(WT-en) Evan 17:28, 8 June 2006 (EDT)
 * Hi guys, wikivoyage:it starts now. It's editable! (thanx Evan) "Al più presto cerco di scrivere una home page, ma la cosa più importante è che adesso la versione it è editabile. Quindi... aiutateci a farla partire al meglio!" (WT-en) Dennis 03:46, 13 June 2006 (EDT)
