[Chandler-dev] Chandler Desktop Bug on IRC?

[Katie Capps Parlante]

After participating in the cosmo bug councils in irc recently, I'm 
strongly in favor of moving to IRC. +1

It does require that the person driving the bug councils move the 
conversation along, announcing each bug. It also requires that the 
stakeholders be on top of typing their 2c quickly after the bug is 
announced.

Pros (restating some that Philippe listed):
- It forces each stakeholder to make a call (cut to the chase)
- It allows other parties to selectively participate, which can be a big 
bonus
- We have a record of the discussion on how we made the call, giving 
people more context into how the decisions were made

My experience is that both methods are roughly equivalent in terms of 
efficiency (bugs/hour). In both cases, it is important that people are 
focused on triaging bugs and not going down ratholes or trying to solve 
problems without having all of the information at hand.

Cheers,
Katie
