| Freso | Hm… Not a huge fan outright, but I also don’t want to squash a community initiative. | 17:28:06 |
| Freso | I do wish more attention was brought on actually helping students in #metabrainz and #musicbrainz though, including redirecting people asking for e.g. editing advice in #metabrainz to go to #musicbrainz etc. | 17:28:52 |
| Freso | I’d really like to not have more IRC channels. | 17:29:23 |

| @freenode_jwf:matrix.org | Freso: Oops I missed this before I went on holiday! | 13:07:21 |
| @freenode_jwf:matrix.org | I can understand that perspective from someone who is more active in the IRC channel. Even though it is one more channel, it does give this type of activity its own dedicated space and prioritizes it as a way for active community members to give back by helping others. It also helps people like me, who maybe have 1-2 hours a week tops for MetaBrainz anything, and keeping up with #metabrainz and #musicbrainz, with the other | 13:09:06 |
| @freenode_jwf:matrix.org | chatter that happens there, is not possible for someone like me | 13:09:16 |
| @freenode_jwf:matrix.org | I don't think this channel will be successful on its own as a community initiative without some MeB buy-in to get the word out. I could volunteer to write a MB wiki page (or somewhere else) about this channel and explain how to help here, if someone else could lead on spreading the word around the community channels once that is done | 13:11:07 |

| Freso | I don’t see this as being useful either way. Most people get help in #musicbrainz now if they actually stay logged in for long enough that people are around to get back to them. The main issue with people not getting help… is that they sign out. | 23:50:37 |
| Freso | Also, one of the points of GCI and GSoC is to integrate incoming students into the community. Separating them out into a secluded channel will not help with this. | 23:51:32 |
