Wikipedia:Projetos/Chat (en)

Origem: Wikipédia, a enciclopédia livre.

Some people are trying to promote the use of IRC at Wikipedia.

The main objective is to make of IRC a primary way of communication between wikipedians, and, if possible, to embed the chat into Wikipedia, allowing users to access the chat through a browser, without installing an IRC client (like in chat.wikizine.org or java.freenode.net).

[editar] Pros

Spare server resources spent on talk pages;
Prote real-time dialog, to speed up coordination and improve assistance;
Spread the use of chat to welcome and guide newbies that dont have an IRC client installed

[editar] Cons

There is no "official" log of the chats, so any decision may be contested.
There is no linkage between user authentication on wikimedia projects and wikimedia's IRC channels.

Excerpt: I guess it might help to implement a gateway to an IRC-like forum which is not only accessible from most web browsers, but is also closely integrated with MediaWiki. Perhaps a chat room could be plonked into a talk page like a template, say {{chat:vfd}} to include a java applet accessing a chat room about VFD. -- Tim Starling 15:06, Jul 19, 2004 (UTC)
