#mooc , I am not against this idea but again we had a student yesterday asking for help that is following Mooc , I had no problem providing it and he had not issues with the process of getting his question aswered in #general channel. If he asked at #mooc I would have missed it because I am not going to keep a mind in all channels.

For general questions I would prefer , even if they are mooc related , to be at #general channel, lets not fragment our discussions for little justification, but for very mooc discusions, like where to find a specific teach or reports of errors in mooc it makes sense to have a mooc channel.

My policy is to point an admin for each channel , channel admis are diffirent than us general admins, we have full power they can only

1)manage message in a specific channel

2) manage webhooks (for example github commits or rss feeds)

3) create instant invites

so if there is one person that is willing to become a mooc admin i will create the channel and add his as admin

Could we have additional channels:

#welcome - which would be the generally advertised invite URL. A read-only channel that informs about community rules and summaries available channels etc (maybe including hidden channels and who to ask for invite)

#help - To be referenced from in-Image Help Browser. Maybe later have an in-Image chat tool that connects to this channel. How cool would it be to have live help from within the IDE?

#mooc - So people can maybe look back through history before asking questions, and also people further along might help others less advanced ==> more participation
