First off:

too small community for an irc channel. My experience with irc is that 90-99% of people logged in at least are idle. For its size #pharo is quite active actually.  

I am IRC when at work (and not forgetting to start the IRC client). But often when people ask questions it is exactly the wrong moment in time.

I just *can�t*  instantly drop what I am doing an tend to the IRC channel� I really wonder how people do it� do they really stop their work right in the

miiddle to answer questions? How are they productive?
