Synchronous Messaging at Mozilla: The Decision

[grahamperrin]

@mhoye would you like to remove the http:// link from the IRC address in the opening post? For it to appear as shown in this (modified) quote:

@mhoye

… shut down IRC.mozilla.org. …

It’s not linked at your Over The Line | blarg so I guess that the link here was automated by Discourse, not intended.

For curious readers:

• the Wayback Machine extension automatically found a non-redirecting capture from 2012 – Mozilla IRC Network
• the last Wayback Machine capture was in 2014 – a redirect to IRC - MozillaWiki

What is the timeline for making https://chat.mozilla.org/ accessible to everyone? Many employees seem to have already switched to using it and IRC is unusually quiet.
