We have a (not very lively) IRC chat at ircs://libera.chat/kanboard Unfortunately there is no Subject line. And it seems that there is no known channel admin to create a chat. It seems that the only possibility to create one is: 1. We agree on a day to change that 2. We agree on a volunteer to do the job (The fist who will not have said now within 24 hrs here šŸ˜) 3. Latest in the morning (09:00 UTC or so) of the day from (1) all will have left the Channel. Means: Channel will have gone. 4. The volunteer from (2) visits #kanboard. That means, he recreates the channel 5. He automatically will become channel admin(?) and can add a summary 6. Interested people return to (or visit first time) #kanboard 7. Everything is fine Please correct me if Iā€™m wrong. Can you agree with this proceeding? And with my suggestion Sunday, June 5th for (2)? ---

This is a chat room on IRC, there is IMHO no need for a subject. Everyone can talk/write something regarding kanboard. BTW, there is > 14:29 -!- No topic set for #kanboard Trying to introduce a subject is IMHO somewhat strange, it disturbs the usual chat life. ---

May be you should explain that to the other thousands of chat groups who did not understand IRC: ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/kanboard1/original/2X/f/f95a94b709859918da1b7548ef528cb9e18847ae.png) And here the ones which understood: ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/kanboard1/original/2X/0/0441caa7ff8bf95477aa6e54dca68ccf54257ff8.png) ---

Yup, Subject was my (very) free translation ā€¦ And I see, Topic has been added. Looks better! My suggestion: extend (after some discussion or at least thinking about it all together) to ā€œAll about kanboard, the free and open source Kanban project management software | New to IRC? Read [Getting help on IRC ā€“ workaround.org](http://workaround.org/getting-help-on-irc) | You can also ask for assistance at [Questions - Kanboard](https://kanboard.discourse.group/c/questions/)ā€ Or similar. ---

Fully agree. But first, we (you?) should get the channel #kanboard registered. ---

Plausible approach! I will create an issue here for ā€œRegister IRC channel #kanboardā€ later to find out whether there are concerns. If there are no concerns we will find a volunteer (may be me) do do that.
