		<description>Ticalc.org IRC page promotes both #tcpa and #calcs at the moment. I guess it might be good to add #ti as &quot;calc-only discussion&quot; to that list or simply replace #calcs, which is not used much IIRC.

Also remove the Pharmacy website link right above.</description>

		<description>I agree, the key factoring and other such efforts really proved that the community is still active.

I wasn&#039;t planning on making it the *only* calculator channel, but simply one where the only focus is calculators. So we know when we&#039;re sending someone somewhere, they&#039;ll get assistance without having to wade through offtopic discussion.</description>

		<description>I am planning on announcing this on ticalc at some point, and seeing if we could make this community help a little easier to find.</description>

		<description>The channel would probably need to be advertised on sites like yAronet and TI-BANK. However on TI-BANK they aren&#039;t big fans of IRC it seems. The other solution would be the TICT board and #TIGCC channel, if anyone else than Kevin Kofler can still access it.</description>

		<description>A *lot* of data in MATH. :)

I agree with the general lack of 68K support. Any ideas to connect with that community would be appreciated.</description>

		<description>Well, one thing to consider is that #omnimaga doesn&#039;t do 68K and I don&#039;t think #cemetech does, either. When people came to ask us such questions before, unless Lionel Debroux was active we had to redirect these people to #tcpa. Plus #tcpa had a lot of TI-89 data in MATH.</description>

		<description>This sounds like a promising idea.  Given how the community came together during the key factoring, and the relative low in inter-channel disputes this might be an opportune time to try.

I think the fact that there will be only calculator discussion will help tremendously, since it&#039;s the one thing most everyone has an interest in.

I do have one suggestion though: You&#039;re proposing that all calculator discussion should be referred to #ti.  While creating a central hub will help unify the community considerably, some reciprocity is needed too, especially if #ti is not to supplant existing channels.  There are three primary reasons for this:
1) If all goes as planned, #ti will be active and have a lot of users.  Questions could be missed during heavy conversation, or even have so many different people answering a question (probably with many different suggestions) it could overwhelm a person.
2) Some questions are better suited when asked of other people/channels (consider that #omnimaga, #cemetech and #tcpa have very different conversations, even when discussing calculators).
3) Not *everyone* in the IRC community will use #ti, and so there can be questions best answered by someone outside of #ti.</description>

		<description>I frontpaged an edited version of nikky&#039;s announcement at Cemetech.  This seems like a good idea to me.</description>
