Hi,

Actually I am not certain we need a new irc channel to share experiences 
between power users and devs as 9e are here. I propose we use, everyone, 
the existing ones: #a11y on gnome server, and #debian-a11y on oftc, as 
well as #mate and #mate-dev on freenode. Thez're international, there're 
major developpers of a11y stuff in GNU/Linux. I think it's useful and I 
asked to ksamak, Lucasaiu, landegave to join them. They're not very 
active. So they really can be used for such projects.

I likekly will create a #hypra irc channel too. But it's essentially to 
create a workspace for the team 9hich don't work on a physical location 
together, but at home. It'd be a French-speaking channel as the team is 
French. As I imagine things, this team will be fully-interfaced with 
community through channels I quoted and related-mailing lists.

Anywan thanks for your support.

Regards,
